Youth prown to manhood may not often stop to 
think how great is the indebtedness to the school 
teacher, the personal force that gives effect to the 
operation of our educational system. Reminded 
of that impressive obligation, the institution of the 
Providence Teachers' Retirement Fund opens a way 
to the men and women of the community to repay it 
in some measure with material benefits. That the 
Fund should receive cordial support is, it seems to 
me, a matter of course. 

Governor of Rhode Island. 



I am glad that the teachers are to have another 
Bazar for the benefit of the Retirement Fund, not 
only because the object is a most worthy one which 
must appeal to every thoughtful citizen, but also be- 
cause I believe that it is a most successful way of 
interesting people generally in the teachers and 
making them realize that teachers are human beings 
and not machines placed in school buildings. If 
the people of our City only knew that the teachers 
of our public schools are a band of men and women 
giving themselves with never ceasing energy and 
always fresh ambition to a work which they love, I 
am sure the Retirement Fund would not be long in 
amounting to fiftv thousand dollars.

Mavor of Providence. 



The Providence Teachers' Retirement Fund, 
now in the beginning of its fifth year of actual 
accumulation, had its origin nearly fourteen years 
ago. The urgent demand for such cooperation as 
would secure for instructors in the Providence pub- 
lic schools, when they desired to retire, a larger 
income than could be secured from the average 
inadequate salary, led to many of the city teachers 
gathering together for the discussion, which usually 



precedes the formation of any society banded for 
common welfare. 

In June of 1896 hundreds of city teachers signed 
a petition asking the school board to frame a bill 
which should create a fund for retiring teachers. 
This petition was presented by Governor Elisha 
Dyer at the last meeting of the school committee 
for that scholastic year. A sub-committee was 
appointed, consisting of Governor Elisha Dyer, 
Gen. Hunter C. White and Mr. Alfred Metcalf, to 
formulate some scheme for carrying out the desires 
of the teachers. Data were collected by Governor 
Dyer from every possible point upon similar acts 
framed either by foreign countries, by the states or 
by the teachers themselves. On Labor Day, Septem- 
ber 7, the bill was framed, and later, when submitted 
to the teachers, was endorsed by nearly five hun- 
dred. It became a law by act of legislature in 
May of 1897, and the first voluntary payment of 
one per cent of the monthly salary was made in 
October, 1897. 

The law provides that each city teacher joining 
the association in October of 1897 shall have de- 
ducted one per cent of his monthly salary until he 
desires to retire. It is a requirement that all persons 
admitted to the teaching force after the first assess- 
ment was made shall l)e assessed for the fund. The 
tax upon no teacher shall be more than twelve dol- 
lars per year. The act provides that, in order to 
be retired on half pay up to the limit of a twelve 
hundred dollar yearly salary, a retiring teacher, if 
a woman, shall have taught thirty years ; if a man, 
thirty-five years, and that twenty years of said 
teaching shall preceding retirement have been in the 
Providence schools. 

The fund at present amounts to about thirty 
thousand dollars, invested by the city treasurer, who 
is treasurer of the fund, in Providence city bonds. 
With the interest accruing this year and the pav- 
ment of one per cent from salaries the fund will 
amount to about thirty-five thousand dollars. In 
order to pay first retiring annuitants in October, 
1902, fifty thousand dollars is required, and the 
present Bazaar is beintr held to complete the deficit 
of fifteen thousand dollars.

THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEX TOWARD 
THE TEACHERS- RETIREMENT FL-ND. 



PreMdent Eliot has said, "It is always through the 
children that the best work is to be done for the 
uplifting of anv communit> ;' L'pon whom is this 
labor almost universally imposed.' ihe public 
school teachers of the present day. 

With full acknowledgment of the value to tlic 
community of the home influences that make for 
-ood and' a perfect consciousness of the home intlu- 
ences that make for evil the teacher stands unique 
and alone, strengthening the one. weakening the 

other. ... 

Never was there required greater vigilance to pio- 
tect and to preserve our institutions than to-day. 
\t the crime of last September the nation still shnd- 
flers Not bv drastic acts of Congress, nor oy 
preaching of the Word, can the foul spirits of An- 
archy and Crime be met and overthrown, but by the 
education of the children, in the school rooms ot 
the people, with the teachers of the children, as cap- 
tains of the hosts. 

Surely if anv calling has a right to expect recog- 
nition of its unmeasured services, and consideration 
for its invaluable labor, it is the calling of the 
teacher. Inirthermore. there is no profession among 
the many that so taxes the nervous energy, tries the 
disposition, or is so exacting in a hundred ways as 
that of teaching. And this is most forcibly brought 
out by the fact'' that in none of the other professions 
is there so large a percentage of those who are early 
incapacitated for further service in the work. 

\'ery few persons in the busy, tireless community 
in which we live have the remo'test idea of the stren- 
uous life recmired of the teachers of the ptiblic 
schools. Then again, there is probably no profes- 
sion so generally underpaid as that of teaching. 
When one takes' into consideration the exhausting 
nature of the work, the high standard of efficiency 
and knowledge required of the teachers of to-day to 
enable them' to keep abreast of the marvelous 
progress in education, the salaries of the male teach- 
ers seem modest, while the absurdly small salaries 
of the female teachers are not at all in proportion 
to the services rendered. 

According to the reports of the U. S. Bureau ot 
Education for iSyS-gg the average annual salary paid 
to teachers and supervising officers in the City of 
Boston was $i,o65.77- I" the City of Providence tor 
similar services the sum was $664.46. lO npholcl 
the dignity and proper standing of her profession 
a teacher must live well, dress well, and devote not 
only time, but means, to outside studies. How can 
she then, out of her meager earnings lay anvthmg 
aside for the time when she, by reason of infirmity 
or old age, can no longer teach ? 

\nother fact which I have not yet stated, is one 
which should appeal to us more deeply than any. 



and xet, strange to say, very few in the community 
realize it at all. A very large percentage of the 
teachers of our public schools are the only bread 
winners of their families. They are cheer ully and 
quietly bearing heavy burdens of which the world 

will never know. r ■ w- 1 ^ ^ -u 

What, then, can be done tor these faithtul teach- 
ers who are doing so much for the youth of this 
community? In what way can we show them that 
their high' calling and great responsibilities are ap- 
preciated? Js it not the duty of every mtelligent 
citizen of Providence to do what he can to see that 
these teachers are better paid, and treated as liber- 
ally as skilled workers are treated in commercial 

life^ 

The teachers of Providence have undertaken to 
solve the problem of what shall be done for those 
of their number who are incapacitated for further 
services bv infirmity or old age. The wise anc. 
beneficent 'provisions of the Providence Teachers 
Retirement' Fund are the result of their united 
efforts Thev give annually to this fund a per- 
centage of their own salaries. At the same time they 
feel that it is not amiss to ask their many friends to 
assist them in anticipating the good work, and make 
earlier and easier the opportunity for granting to 
worthy and deserving teachers, whose services have 
been long and faithful, the benefits of this wise 
undertaking. . . 

\nd in what better way can an interest m the 
cause be made known than by a generous patron- 
age and hearty support of the efTorts made in l)e- 
half of the Teachers" Retirement Tund.'

SOME 



THOUGHTS FOR THOSE WHO 
MOULD AHNDS. 



When we are studying children we know the joy 
of continual discovery. Human nature is inexhaust- 
ible, and as we gaze into the mind of a pupil we may 
say, as did Kepler when he gazed into the star-lit 
sky: "T think Thy thoughts after Thee, O God!" 
Each new power developed is as interesting as the 
flashing of a new star into the heavens. We feel 
that we are constantly in the presence of the infinite. 
We are amazed at the restless activity, the ceaseless 
play of energy on the part of the pupil, and all our 
study begins in wonder. 

And this wonder soon passes into the sense of 
solemn responsibility, as we realize that the mark 
we make on the child's nature endures forever. 
The dent we make on iron or steel can be removed, 
the scar of solid shot on armor plate can be beaten 
out, but our imprint on mind and heart is eternal. 
The "hand that rounded Peter's dome" had slight 
responsibility compared with the hand that rounded 
Peter himself, or that left him unrounded and un- 
balanced ; and to "groin the aisles of ancient Rome" 
is an easy task compared with the moulding of a 
generation of students. 

Joy and responsibility — these are the two poles 
of our task. If we do not feel a daily and ever deep- 
ening joy in our work, we have not learned how 
to do it. If we are not at times oppressed by our 
responsibility, we do not yet see our work as it is. 
But, steadied by responsibility and strengthened by 
the joy of noble work, we may make our life full 
of service to our age and our nation.

SANTA SOPHIA. 



mosques give rliythmic accent to the seven-hilled city, 
whose swelling mass is echoed on the right by Sku- 
tari, and again and again, softly and more softly by 
the islands of the Princess, fading away into the mys- 
tic east. The warm cream color of the houses with 
their red-orange tiles, the ivory palace and mosques, 
intermingled with the rich green foliage of acacias 
and cypresses, give to the city a beauty such as few 
capitals can boast. It seems impossible to imagine 
anything on earth more lovely than the superb pano- 
rama of this cit\- of the Sultan. 



The approach to \'enice is not finer than the ap- 
proach to Constantinople from the sea of Marmora. 
The citv is first a fluttering ribbon of gray, with one 
pale pearl upon it. As we approach, the ripples of 
ribbon become hills and the pearl becomes the mosque 
of ]\Iuhammed II. Drifting masses of cloud dapple 
the landscape with purple shadows. The city is vio- 
let one moment except the Stamboul tower ; the next, 
the Mosque of Ahmed is the only glowing object : 
now the Seraglio point and Santa Sophia glitter in 
green and gold and rose color ; now they are dark 
emerald and purple. Thirteen domed and pointed 




SERAGLIO POINT. 



To our eyes the one familiar object is Santa So- 
phia, big, patient, venerable edifice! How fascinat- 
ing its domes and minarets ! How- they shift and 
regroup themselves as the steamer swings around 
to her moorings off Galata. We can hardly leave the 
ship the view to southward is so charming. The 
Seraglio gardens, about the ancient acropolis of 
Byzantium, hiding and revealing the historic struc- 
tures which stand where stood the fortresses and pal- 
aces, the temples and baths of those old Greeks from 
Megara, two thousand years ago, the domes of the 
churches of the Byzantine Empire, the Imperial 
Palaces, the modern military buildings, the hurry- 
ing flood from the Golden Horn, the calm sky benil- 
ing down behind the city, but form a setting for that 
priceless jewel of the east, San Sophia. 

But the approach to the oKl church through the 
city ! The dogs ! the filth ! the desolation I Yes : 
but how magnificently Ijarbaric, how captivatingly 
picturesque here and there ! The old city is incon- 
gruouslv constructed, shamefully neglected, and 
scandalouslv populated. Everything is literally "go- 
ing to the dogs" — and snch dogs ! 

Never mind. The unspeakable Turk shall be 
shaken out of it some day, and now let us be thank- 
ful that it is possible for us to pass safely through 
his city — if there are men in our party — and we have

a guide — and it is day! for there is the great heap 
of the church before us, and we came here to see 
that. 




SANTA SOPHIA. 



The first impression of the building is disappoint- 
ing, even to one famihar with its photographs. It is 
dull in color, it looks unclean, and the incrustations 
of Moslem ugliness, the hideous excrescences which 
have appeared during the thirteen hundred three 
score and nine years of its existence, have 
obscured and obliterated the original lines of the 
building. The men who could build the church of 
The Savior and that of St. Irene, so admirably pro- 
portioned, so simple and restful in line, so chaste in 
detail, could not have built Santa Sophia as it now 
appears. From beneath these monstrous modifica- 
tions the old church, whose plan was laid down by 
an angel and perfected by one hundred architects 
working as one man, now cries out to England and 
America for help. 

"O Lord, help Theophilus, 

O Mother of God. help Theodora Augusta : 

O Christ, help Michael."* 

O ye Christians, help Santa Sophia! 

The interior, too, has suflfered irreparably, espe- 
cially above the cornice. The King's daughter was 
all glorious within ; her garments were of wrought 
gold, but now she is covered with sack cloth and 
sits in ashes — until this abomination of desolation 
be over-passed. The gold mosaics have been cov- 
ered with plaster ; the lily crosses in relief upon the 
marble slabs have been chiseled away ; the great 
figures of apostles and prophets have been eclipsed 
by immense green shields scrawled over with the

the south end of the narthe.K. 



names of Mohammed's generals. The church was 
oriented, of course, but not meccared (if I may coin 
a word for the occasion). Mecca lies about east- 
southeast, evidently, for the mirhab is about two 
points off the center of the apse, and the mini bar, the 
dais, and all the prayer rugs are slued accordingly, 
producing a peculiarly unpleasant effect, more irre- 
ligious and heretical, esthetically, than two points 
variation from Mecca could possibly have been. But 
notwithstanding all these desecrations the old church 
itself is there yet, and beneath the hands of a Tiffany 
it would come forth as gold from the furnace. 

To attempt a description of this interior would be 
to attempt the impossible. No words can adequately 
embody the spirit of the place. The nave is so large, 
so well proportioned, so wondrously lighted, that 
its true dimensions cannot readily be grasped by the 
mind. A walk of half an hour through the aisles 
and galleries will help to an appreciation of the vast 
span of the central dome and the immense area en- 
closed within the walls. The nave is a grand hall 
two hundred and fifty feet in length, one hundred 
feet wide, and one hundred and eighty feet high. 
"The eye wanders upwards from the large arcades of 
the ground-floor to the smaller arches of the galleries 
and thence to the small seini-domes. These lead the 
eye on to the larger, and the whole culminates in the 
great central roof, a dome one hundred and seven 
feet across," says Ferguson. "Nothing, probably, 
so artistic has been done on the same scale, before or 
since." 

An idea of what the color eft'ect of the entire inte- 
rior must have been may be best obtained from the 
eso-narthex, the spacious vestibule, which has suf- 
fered less because there was less to suffer. Verd 
antique and porphyry, creamy marble and alabaster, 
weathered bronze and gold mosaic, combine with 
sculptured moldings and jeweled glass to produce a 
complex harmony of astonishing beauty. Nor is 
the coloring of the walls their only glor\-. The mar- 
ble panels are composed of thin slabs framed together 
so that their veins make bilateral and balanced pat- 
terns of quaint erratic curves, or in the cornices, run- 
ning patterns of waving lines. Near the floor the 
circumscribing moldings are plain bands, the borders 
of the lower panels have a geometric counterchang- 
ing pattern, in the upper panels tracery appears, and 
along the cornice foliated ornament of greatest deli- 
cacv. The sculiitured details of the capitals are ex- 
quisite in drawing and in modeling. The under- 
cutting is so deep, in many cases, that the ornament 
forms a network of channeled stems and plaited 
leaflets entirely free from the body of the block, 
save here and there where little pegs of tnarble have 
been left to keep the precious veil in place. Every 
detail is cut so carefully and finished so perfectly, 
one is forced to believe that here, for once, not 

"Love and Terror laid the tiles." 
but Love only. The chancel especially, like Mary's 
alabaster box of ointment, is very precious. No-

where was the marble polislied ; the surfaces were 
only smoothed to bring out their native colors. The 
glitter of the gold was broken into minute particles 
of light by the innumerable facets of the mosaics far 
away in the vaulted ceilings, and fell through the 
great spaces of the church like the dim glory of 
the stars. 




INTERIOR OF SANTA SOPHIA. 

The church was a perfect embodiment of the gos- 
pel in its purity, — all-embracing, chaste, temperate, 
beautiful. Of the most precious material, of the 
most happy design, of masterly workmanship, of 
exquisite color, it stands to-day, though disfigured by 
the Turk, the grandest monument on earth to the 
Church of the Fathers, and one of the wonders of 
the world. 

Sitting near the central entrance, as the light 
wanes in the west, with the full effect of the vast 
temple flooding the mind, one seems to be in the 
presence of a queenly woman with whitened hair, 
clad in silver gray with old rose and violet and pale 



emerald embroidery of silk, with necklace of pearls 
and jewels of opal. There is about her a repose, like 
that of one who, purified by suffering, awaits with 
hope her long lost love. The peace of God that 
passes understanding is upon her blessed face. 

Karnak is brutal, the Parthenon heartless, Cologne 
thoughtless, when compared with Sophia, the Queen 
of the East.

THE MAN IN THE BOY.* 



In the acorn is wrapped the forest ; 

In the little brook is the sea; 
The twig that will sway 
With the sparrow today, 

Is to-morrow's sturdy tree! 
There is hope in the mother's joy, 

Like the peach in its blossom furled ; 
And a noble Boy, a gentle Boy, 

A manly Boy is king of the world! 

The power that will never fail us 

Is the soul of simple truth ; 
The oak that defies 
The stormiest skies 

Was upright in its growth. 
The beauty no time can destroy 

In the pure young heart is furled ; 
And a worthy Boy, a tender Roy, 

A faithful Boy is king of the world ! 

The cub of the royal lion 

Is regal in his play; 
The eaglet's pride 
Is as fiery-eyed 

As the old bird's, bold and gray; 
The nerve that heroes employ 

In the child's young arm is furled ; 
.And a gallant Boy, a truthful Boy, 

A brave, pure Boy is king of the world ! 

■^Written for a Boy who is now a "brave, pure" man.

WHY 



THE RETIREiMEXT EL'ND 
NECESSITY. 



IS A 



The Teachers' Retirement Eund thus far has been 
obtained by the teachers' own efforts, while in otlier I 
cities such a fund has been augmented b)- gifts and ' 
bequests. That the teachers have been wilHng to 
work for this cause so hard proves their apprecia- 
tion, of what such a fund means to them. The in- 
come that an\' one can receive when she retires from 
teaching will be small; still, that added to any sav- 
ings she may have would enable the recipient to live 
in comparative comfort. It is often asserted that 
women teachers have larger pay than any other class 
of working women. While this may be true, it is 
also true that their expenses are greater from the 
character of their work. The number of hours which 
they are occupied far exceeds the school sessions. 
Never have the requirements for teachers been so 
exacting as at present. They are required to remain 
after school closes to attend teachers' meetings, 
courses of study are prejjared for them to pursue, 
scholars' work has to be examined and corrected — 
all of which demand time which it is assumed the 
teachers are devoting to rest. Little leisure is left 
for them to do their own sewing, even if they had 
the physical strength after the exhausting work of a 
day, so they are compelled to hire their sewing done. 
Again, a teacher should be dressed so neatlv and 
tastefuU}- that she is a model of good taste; if she 
is that, her dress cannot be as inexpensive as if she 
were in some other employment. 

Another class of expenses arises frcim the necessity 
of buying books and magazines to kee]5 abreast of 
the progress of the times. No matter how thorough 
the education of the teacher may have been, she can- 
not hope to fill properly any position if she does not 
continue her studies. She must have reference 
books at her hand, where at any moment they can 
be consulted, or she will not be in touch with the 
political, the literary, and the sociological conditions 
of the day. Whoever fails to do this will not be an 
inspiration to a pu]Ml. Teaching is especially a men- 
tally exhausting work because the teacher is con- 
stantly giving her vitality in order to arouse and 
stimulate the listless or indifferent pupil. In return 
she does not receive the inspiration that comes from 
the contact of mature minds with each other. To be 
able to do the best for scholars as far as possible 
the mind of the teacher should be free from anxietv. 
If, then, teachers know that when they honorably 
retire from teaching they are assured of a small 
pension, one cause of anxiety is removed, giving 
calmness of mind that will make better instructors. 
Every citizen must realize that whatever relieves 
the nervous strain incidental to teaching increases 
the efficiency of the teachers and makes the school 
better for his children. 



In justice to the teachers it should be stated that 
one per cent of their salaries is yearly added to the 
Retirement Eund. It is hoped that when the fund 
is raised to fifty thousand (lollars, this contribution 
from the salaries and voluntary gifts will prevent the 
necessity of public appeals, which are as distasteful 
to the teachers as to those to whom they appeal.

LA PETITE ()E THE LOLARE. 



The Paris streets were beginning to look very 
long and very wide in the dull, chilly days of 
autunm. A certain barrenness oppressed the 
beautiful city. There was no longer the busy 
crowd of tourists along the Rivoli and Avenue 
de rOpera, and the few foreigners who were to 
remain rejoiced that now they could see a truly 
foreign Paris. In fact, Paris was rendered back 
after another season into the liands of Parisians and 
students. The autumn was heralded with no flam- 
ing banners ; and, indeed, the thin scattering of dead 
leaves along the streets, and the delicate bits of 
\ellow in the trees by the Seine gave so light and 
ethereal a touch of color that the summer life seemed 
exhaling in a vapor. P.elated New Englanders, 
thinking of the year's death at home, the fiery 
grandeur of the sunmier's bier, wondered why they 
had stayed so long, and determined never again to 
miss the passion of a New England autunui. 

There was one pedestrian in the dreary streets, 
neither a tourist nor an American, who was think- 
ing in deeper colors than those of the French 
autumn. She was a shy little English woman, 
bound on this morning, as on every other, for the 
great Gallery of the Louvre. She went to sit all 
day copying the masterjiieces. which formed for her 
a world of her own, rich in memories and ])oetic 
dreams, and ipiite apart from the modern Paris 
without. 

Long years ago this gentle little painter had 
come fluttering across the Channel like some fright- 
ened bird ; she came, she knew not whither, seeking 
refuge in the brilliant city. When she slipped from 
the congenial English mist, youth was still bright 
in her cheeks, yet instinctively she had re]ielled the 
few who were inquisitive and dropped from her life 
all that would attract the curious. So it happened 
that after fifteen years the knowing Erench knew 
nothing of the English copyist. .Vssiduouslv

attentive to the details of her work, she had allowed 
the new associations, a trifle unreal, perhaps, but j 
still beautiful, silently to cover her past, much as 
the fresh leaves of sprinsj s]M-cad over last year's 
decay. 

Fifteen years ago this day she had first made her ; 
way to the Louvre. Just such another autuiun day ; 
not much like England, she thought, yet, — yes 
there was a subtlety in this quiet death, a poetry 
closely akin to the French charm she had learned to 
love. She lingered along the river, liking the soft 
crackle of the curled leaves under foot, and the sad 
swaying of the sister leaves still in the tree tops. 
When she turned to the Louvre, how dreary the 
court looked with its walled coldness, walls to right, 
to left, in front; greyness under-foot, and silver 
overhead. But inside! The air might be cokl, in- 
deed, but she would forget the chill in the beautiful 
warmth of the walls. Going up the great stairwa\ 
she remembered with self-pity the fear of fifteen 
years ago, her shvness and the consciousness that 
the guard recogniized her as a new copyist. What 
courage it had taken to draw the first lines before 
the eves of the great changing tide of visitors, wdiich 
seemed eternally passing up and down and an^und 
the great lialls. 

To-dav the little painter went directl\- to the .Salon 
Carre. No one in sight! A delightful enthusiasm 
seized her as she felt herself the one representa- 
tive of the present generation in that room of 
genius. She laid out her paints and Inrushes 
with the precision and deliberation of one who 
knows that she has a congenial task lieforc her, 
and time, — time unlimited, — for its execution. 
Then she walked about the room, meeting 
the hundred eyes that looked out from their frames, 
eyes of saints and nobles, of children and Madonnas ; 
and thrilling with a sense of possession. Would 
not all those faces, intellectual, simple, or religious, 
have been wasted on the dust of the room without 
her living mind in the centre to comprehend and 
interpret? How dead the Grande Gallerie beyond, 
where no human being gave life ! The feeling of 
life-giving power gave a mystic sense of nearness 
to the Great Creator, and life seemed the grandest 
thing in the universe as she slipped back to her 
palette before La Belle Jardiniere, the very first 
■Madonna she had copied, years ago. She looked 
into the bright face of the Madonna, so full of health 
and beauty, seeing nothing of the future, no fore- 
shadowing of the Mater Dolorosa, an ideal mother 
out in the open fields with her child. "To-day," 
she whispered, "I feel as I did so long ago, that you 
are the most beautiful ^larv in the Louvre : to-day 



I am sure of it. Life pure. happ\ , unperplexed, in 
unconscious harmony with God's life, that is the 
most beautiful thing on earth." And so she set to 
work. 




LA BELLE JARDINIERE. 



During these many years she had set her palette 
m almost every hall of the Louvre, not often before 
the greatest pictures, but very often to sketch some 
child's face, some powerful hand, or just a bit of 
drapery. Such pieces did not sell very well ; those 
who sought copies as such, wanted full-sized can- 
vases with the wdiole subject reproduced, and those 
of finer feeling, knowing the usual grade of a copy- 
ist's work, condemned without inspecting. 

In the early da)'s the other copyists smiled as they 
saw her working silently iDefore some unfamiliar 
canvas ; smiled significantly as they chatted and 
ioked of the theaters and the latest Latin gossip, and 
matched their colors with equal indifference for a 
Madonna or a Judas. But years of steady work had 
gained respect ; they could not look at her chamiing 
sketchy bits, where the spirit of some old master 
seemed enshrined, without recognizing that even a 
copyist may be an artist, in spirit. Indeed all, from 
careless Monsieur Jacques, the Englishman who 
copied persistently at so much a square inch whatever 
the market demanded, to Madame, who was always

on a tangent and could bring out the bravos of the 
Louvre coterie any time with clever sketches a la 
Rubens, felt in their secret hearts that Alademoiselle 
La Petite, as they had learned to call her from the 
guard, was dealing in higher art than theirs, though 
her purse was lanker and her cheeks were growing 
paler month by month. 

Working before La Belle Jardiniere on her anni- 
versary. La Petite settled to a happy, busy frame o* 
mind where the scenes of fifteen years flitted before 
her. How long was it? Four, five years before 
she copied any Aladonna save a Raphael? That day 
when she realized that there were other IMadonnas 
in the Louvre, — it was a dreary day to recall. She 
had a Christmas order for this very Madonna, for 
La Belle Jardiniere, and though she had worked 
feverishly to complete it, yet it would not satisfy 
her, long as she had studied the original, often as 
she had sketched it. At night La Belle Jardiniere 
haunted ner, it was on every side of the room, and 
deep inside her brain. Finally, when the picture 
was sent, overcome with weariness, she slipped away 
to Notre-Dame, there to sit all the morning in the 
dim nave, feeling the throb of the music above and 
around her. Was it the spell of the Christmas sea- 
son, or the dead load of her weariness, v.hich made 
her repeat dreamily, "Peace on Earth, Good Will 
to Men ! " till way up by the dark altar she saw the 
Madonna again. That afternoon as she went to her 
work, she passed the Luini fresco of the Adoration. 




LA NATIVITE, LUINI. 



All at once the music came back upon her, and again 
she repeated, "Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth." 
The Madonna's face was the one she had confused 
with the Raphael. Her eyes were closed as she 
knelt with clasped hands, and an assurance of the 
reign of God's kingdom was m the face : no shadow 



of doubt, no consciousness of present wrong and 
suffering, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" 
ordained for evermore. She had said to herself, 
"This is the Madonna of the Church, the Madonna 
of assured Hope," and — (with pity for her old favor- 
ite, La Belle Jardiniere) — "Thou art only, after all, a 
beautiful iNiother Mary." 

A week ago the Luini had come again before her 
notice. There sometimes came to the Louvre peo- 
ple who stole the copyist's thoughts from her work. 
This time it had been a priest, moving restlessly 
from picture to picture. Working on the further 
side of the Salon Carre, La Petite had seen him 
]5ause a long time in the Salle Duchatel, before the 
Luini fresco, and she had watched eagerly to see if 
he would not find satisfaction in her churchly Ma- 
donna. But, long as he stood there, his face did 
not soften, nor his expression relax. Still, when 
he turned, it was with a sigh so real and deep that La 
Petite looked hastily back to her work, with a guilty 
sense of having intruded on his solitary thoughts. 

Bringing up thus against the unanswerable puzzle 
of another's thoughts. La Petite's musings were 
turned to the Mary which, years ago, had replaced 
for her the Luini Madonna of Hope. That day and 
this were at the poles of the year, for the spring 
trumpets were at full blast on that beautiful, sweet- 
scented day. Her mind had been full of life and 
freshness when she discovered the Mainardi. Dis- 
covered it? Yes, she had seen it many times, yet 
never till that day, when there was the into.xication 
of new life in the air. For the first time in months 
she dreaded to go to work, and wandered slowly 
through the galleries till she came to the Italian 
room and, — the Mainardi. What a child the Vir- 
gin was, with her sweet mouth and downcast eyes, 
her light lace cap and stray curls, with the beautiful 
white lilies just over her head, and the children 
close beside her. Not only her own babe, but her 
left hand was under the chin of the chubby little 
fellow in the right hand corner, probably the St. 
John, and the three in the background holding the 
lilies, perhaps they were meant for cherubs, but 
they were quite sweet enough to be himian. There 
was youth in the delicate curve of the face, in the 
natural crowning of the lilies, in the unconscious 
grace of the pose. Surely all thoughts beneath that 
brow were of the children, and the picture seemed 
painted to utter an ideal of purity for that very 
morning of stirring life. She was the INIadonna of 
Love. 

La Petite had quite forgotten La Belle Jardiniere, 
although she sat with her brush raised looking full 
in Alary 's face. Her rever^' was broken by a voice 
saving: "Vou find the Belle Jardiniere very 



12

inspiring." She turned to find a tall, comely stran- 
ger beside her, an American, with a boyish intensity 
in his look which mingled well with his evident poise 
and self-command. 

"No," La Petite answered, flushing slightly, "it 
was not the Belle Jardiniere I saw." 

He looked at her as if wishing she would be more 
commimicative, but, seeing his look confused her, 
he withdrew it and said quite frankly, "It's very 
chilly here ; you'd best wear a heavier wrap when 
next you work," adding with a humorous twinkle 
in his eye: "I'm a doctor, so it's my business to 
look after you." 

There was something friendly in the voice, and 
something straightforward in the smile which in- 
spired confidence. But the doctor had passed on, 
so she did not answer and was soon back retracing 
her life before the Mainardi, — thinking of Marie, 
the bewildered little French girl she had found one 
day near the spring-time Madonna. Here L" 
Petite might have branched off on a whole chapter 
of life, but it was chiefly filled with her own kind- 
ness to betrayed Marie, a story of many hungr}' 
nights, and much self-denial. So she turned back 
from such prosiness to La Belle Jardiniere. But 
somehow it was a sad task, this rebuilding of those 
fifteen years, there in the great damp Louvre. 
Even the dear, familiar picture grew grey and life- 
less as the day crept on. When she went out that 
night the sadness of the autumn seemed more 
intense than in the morning; more leaves had 
fallen and she could not find one thing of beauty on 
which to rest her eyes. At home she sat a long 
time in the dark, thinking of the English autumns, 
and how often she had watched the year's retreat 
in the meadows and park-lands. Then by candle- 
light she wrote a desolate little rhyme, which closed 
her fifteenth anniversarv. 



Beauty has fled from this wind-swept earth, 

Beauty is dead in the grave. 
From the withering wind the floweret's mirth 

We can no longer save. 

We search the wilds of sheltered nooks 

In vain for a last lone flower, 
The shriven bud with ghastly looks 

Lies dead in the frozen bower. 

The wind is wrecking the trembling trees 
Of the glory their boughs enfold; 

To our shivering souls the pitiless breeze 
For beauty offers gold. 

Convulsive death is cancelling birth, 

No worth is left to save. 
Beauty has flown from the desolate earth, 

Beauty is dead in the grave. 



The next day she opened a new year before the 
Botticelli Madonna. Working day after day, often 
sitting for long periods without touching her brush 
to the canvas, she found a gentle reproach in the 
stillness of that face, a reproach to all strife and 
discontent. The eyes of the Botticelli Madonna 
were not fixed, as those of the Luini, under their 
closed lids, on a peaceful kingdom of God, for some- 
where about the brow was a look of sorrow. The 
baby Jesus standing in her lap was held close to her 
breast, yet although one baby hand nestled in her 
neck, it did not distract her. With her lowered eyes 
she may have been conscious of the touch and 
thrilled with its sweetness, but her thoughts were 




THE MADONNA, BOTTICELLI. 



far away. It was a face that might look upon a 
vision of Gethsemane and accept it simply, willing 
to suffer as God ordained. An angel with folded 
arms gazed from the canvas, resting under the hush 
of that serene sorrow, while trees and flowers stood 
in calm silhouette against the pallor of the morning 
sky. The calmness of nature seemed to stand wit- 
ness not that there is "Peace on Earth," but that 
with perfect trustfulness the Mother's heart has 
said, "Thy will be done." As La Petite thought of 
her thus, she named her Madonna of Faith, and at 
night she tore up her little poem on the death of 
beauty, and wrote instead :

1 saw Faith visioncd as a little child, 

Amid the shaded lilies fair and pale, 
She caught the sun-beams in their fragile cups, 

And kissed the dew tears from God's flowerets frail. 

The evening came, as still as mother's care 
Sleep drew her veil across the sense of sight, 

The child was all alone and fast asleep. 

Content, within the lap of God's dread night. 

During these weeks the .American doctor had 
stopped beside her now and again, and once when 
he came he settled himself into an easy pose as if 
he meant to stay, saying with a humorous, encour- 
aging smile: "Won't you teach me what you see 
in the pictures? I'd like to be your disciple." lie 
wanted to make her smile, for he was a physician to 
the very core of his nature, beginning his practice 
back in a New England homestead beside a sweet, 
frail mother. To see any one depressed, or loneh- 
and shy, like La Petite, aroused that knight- 
errantry of his nature which had made him the 
favorite in the hospitals ; called on for everv extra 
burden for others, and bearing many self-imposed 
until he had broken down completely. And 
now with hours of enforced idleness on his hands 
he chose to spend many in the Louvre, where, true 
to his love of human nature, he found nothing 
amone the pictures so interesting as the littlp 
English copyist. j 

La Petite drew shyly back at his question and 
answered: "I don't think you need a teacher. 
Monsieur le Docteur." She had her instinct as 
well as he, and was very sure those steady, smiling 
eyes were keen as well as gentle, keen to look be- 
neath the surface of nature or of art. 

"No, no, Em not joking," he said. "Teach me." 

"You must teach yourself," she answered. "Go 
and look at the Mainardi there." She was sur- 
prised when he went, it was all a jest and she had 
not joked, — ah, not for fifteen years. 

When he came back he leaned against her easel 
and began: "She's the sweetest little girl Eve seen 
for a long time, cut out and created for a kinder- 
gartener, and it's a great shame she didn't live in the 
nineteenth century, for she missed her vocation 
being born four hundred years too soon." He 
watched La Petite as he spoke, noticing the pale 
cheeks, the changing flush, the shy restraint of her 
attitude. "Have I seen well?" he asked. 

She looked up smiling, "Yes, excellently." "So 
I can be vour ]nii)il?" he said, with hearty boyish- 
ness. 

The atmosphere was too congenial ; in spite of 
shyness and fatigue her mouth twitched. "No, I 
cannot risk my reputation in teaching one who will 
sometimes teach me." 



"A ])hantom fear — so, I am enrolled as your jnipil 
and disciple, but what am I to call you?" 

"They call me Mademoiselle La Petite here." 

"It'll do as a makeshift, and now," he continued, 
"what do YOU think of the Belle Jardiniere you 
•were painting the other day?" 

"It was mv first copy when I came here to work, 
because she was so bright and fresh, and made me 
think of England. It was just fifteen years since I 
began work here ; that is the reason I was copying 
her." 

There was a depth of interest in the simple state- 
ment for one who could read between the lines, and 
he said slowly, "And you have never been back to 
England, and no one came to spend your holi- 
day with }ou, and" — but he stopped. He could 
have -idtled. "There was no one waiting for you at 
home." La Petite gave a quick, startled look, but 
he did not press her confidence ; instead he laughed, 
and said, "I know something more about you; you 
do not live in Paris," adding, as she looked sur- 
prised, "No, you live in the Louvre, and only lodge 
in the city," and then he went away. 

()\\ his way out he stopped to talk with the guard, 
l)Ut there seemed little enough to learn of La Petite, 
mostly what he had guessed before, except that she 
had a champion among the Louvre copyists in 
Monsieur Jacques. To tuiravel the secret of his 
devotion, gave the doctor a new object for his 
\\anderings in the Louvre. He scraped an ac- 
quaintance with tiiany of the copyists and found 
himself in a strange new atmosphere. Einally. 
jiatching his information together, he dated Jacques' 
interest in La Petite back some five years to a rainy 
afternoon when a number of copyists were busy in 
the same hall of the Louvre. Madame had been in 
high humor, and, abetted by the lesser lights, all 
Paris had suffered from her wit. Jacques, how- 
ever, was secretly occupied with a child's head on 
La Petite's easel. Just a bit of water-color sketch- 
ing, but somehow it had brought back memories of 
the old days across the Channel, of the rollicking 
family and the baby brother he had tossed to the 
ceiling. Occupied thus, Madame had held out to 
him one of her clever, vulgar sketches, and — 
perhaps it was mere animal resentment at having 
his mood disturbed. — he had caught it and roughly 
torn it. Madame only laughed and returned to her 
work, but the incitlent stirred her to a quiet revenge, 
and La Petite was the victim. Going up to her in 
those last precious moments of the afternoon light, 
she had said, "Our friend hardly appreciated my 
work to-dav. See, it is not so bad. You will not 
be so severe." Then, receiving only a courteous, 
"Madame is clever." from La f^etite. she added. 



14

"Madenioiselle, accept of your friend a keep-sake, I 
regret it is torn." La Petite had taken the sketch, 
saving, "Madame is very kind." Then, looking 
straight into her face, she continued with a smile 
and a tone where there was no shade of sarcasm, 
"It is always pleasant to have the characteristic 
work of an artist, and Madame has not before hon- 
ored me." This part of the story came chiefly from 
Madame herself, who was very far from bearing 
resentment for a moment's discomfiture, even 
though it had produced a titter at her expense. 
Indeed, she said with a shrug, she rather liked that 
shy Anglaise since she found she had some subtlety. 
And Alonsieur Jacques? Oh, yes, it had made 
quite a poet of Monsieur Jacques — for an hour — 
lie had actually told her that La Petite learned her 
savoir faire of the Madonnas. Seeking the further 
history of La Petite's sketch, the doctor found it 
was in Jacques' possession, though whether by gift 
or purcliase he never quite fathomed. .\t all events 
it had been the foundation of Jacques' devotion, 
and it became evident from a study of the Louvre 
forces that if Jacques" poetry was of ephemeral 
brilliancy, and his championship of an unsesthetic 
quality, it was at least of a dogged and persistent 
nature which made itself evident in the life of the 
Louvre. 




MADONNA, MAINARDl. 



His acquaintance with the Louvre copyists con- 
firmed the doctor in his first estimate of La Petite, 
and each day brought him a deeper appreciation of 
her quiet life. With his keen sympathy there w'as 
inevitably nnich of the poet and artist in the doctor's 



nature ; he felt the charm of those delicate copies 
and still more of the shy sorrow that seemed like a 
lialo about the little painter herself. Her strange 
fancies about the Madonnas, and her unfailing 
charity, her bits of experience with tourists, which 
she related with much humor as her shyness wore 
off, brought life and interest to his idle days, and 
gave to the Louvre that gentle atmosphere in 
which it is easy for beautiful and noble things to 
grow. He seemed to have gone back to the distant 
years when he had time to love nature, and poetry, 
and beauty. And yet this very reawakening of a 
richer, warmer life drew the physician in him back 
to his work-a-day haunts, and for almost a month 
he stopped his visits to the Louvre. 

Meantime a certain feeling of dissatisfaction with 
the Madonnas grew in La Petite. The Luini she 
cotild not bear, the Mainardi was too ideal, the 
Raphaels too real, the sorrow of the Botticelli too 
self-centred, and her serenity too passionless. Of 
that real world, where she had hardly stepped for 
fifteen years, she had caught a glimpse through the 
eyes of another. And now the great throb of the 
world's suffering, which she had ignored along with 
her own sorrow, seemed to stir even the dusty air 
of the old palace ; frail fancies were shivered by its 
reality. An old ambition came back upon her, to 
paint her own Madonna, one real and true on all 
sides. All the month she had puzzled how could the 
face be sweet and simple and childlike, and also 
strong and womanly ; how could it be conscious of 
the world's sorrow, and still be young and beautiful? 

The doctor, too, in his restless wanderings, had a 
\ision of a Madonna which made the last three years 
of life seem very barren. F.ut the face of his Ma- 
donna was distinct, beautiful, and calm, strong in 
itself, strong for others : a face he had left behind 
him in America. Yet its image followed him into 
the dark quarters of Paris and through the hospitals 
from which he was banished as a student. These 
wanderings were hardly calculated to heal his own 
body, but just now he had more serious hurts within 
him ; the world had so many wounds which he could 
not bind alone. 

One miserable, chilly day, the middle of January, 
he came again to the Louvre. La Petite looked 
very white and troubled, and he remembered with 
a pang how long he had been away. "What is it. 
My Lady?" he asked. It was a name he had 
adopted. 

"What is it, indeed?" she returned, looking at the 
great circles under his eyes. 

They smiled and he came and sat in his favorite 
place on the edge of her platform. 

"I've been wondering," she said, "how- one is to 
paint a Madonna who is both young and sad." 



i.S

"Why do you want to paint a sad Madonna?" he 
asked, "mine isn't sad." 

She looked at him quickly, so he had his Ma- 
donna, and she asked softly, "Which Madonna is 
she like?" 

"Like none other, tall and stately, self-poised and 
beautiful." 

"Monsieur Je Docteur, you have seen her, and 
nt)w you are sad?" 

"Ah, three years ago ; she may have changed, she 
may have forgotten." 

La Petite's hand rested lightly on his shoulder as 
she said, "Such a Madonna will not change." 

She seemed to know the New England Mary 
better than he, and he looked up, thanking her with 
his eyes, but noting again how pale she was, he 
said with an effort, "But why must your Madonna 
be sad, and if the Botticelli does not satisfy you, 
there are beautiful modern Marys." 




MADONNA OF THE WORKSHOP. 

Uaznan-Bouverei. 



"Yes, the Dagnan-Bouveret pose is beautiful, but 
the face, it is not my Madonna." 

"Ah," he said, smiling, "we are so individualistic 
now, we must each have a Madonna all our own. 
But surely there is too much sadness everywhere ; 
we should pray that our Madonna escape. My 
Lady, if she knew all the suffering I have seen this 
month, and felt it away down in her heart, she 
would be so wretched." The tears were almost in 
his voice and he was looking away of? down the hall, 
"She might make a beautiful saint, but a Ma- 
donna, — -no, not the Mother Mary." 

La Petite, looking down at his intense face, so 
conscious of suffering, so tender, so ideal, thought, 
"His face might be the Saint's," and then she imag- 
ined a strong, calm Marv at his side, and said, "I 
think I should like your Madonna." 



When she was alone, she sketched his head as she 
had seen it in profile, and said to herself, "He is 
right about the Madonna, and it takes two faces to 
express perfection." Then she sketched the great 
cape and close white wrappings of the Dagnan- 
Bouveret on another corner of the canvas, and tried 
to imagine the face, but it was in vain. Day after 
day she brooded over the unknown face and often 
she sketched an elusive image, but it never satis- 
fied her. 

One day a voice behind her said, "Is your sketch 
from life?" 

"Yes," she answered. 

"It's an interesting face," said the voice and 
somewhat lower, "How like him !" 

La Petite turned cjuickly. The woman beside 
her was surely an American, tall and of noble bear- 
ing, — ah, yes, "self-poised and beautiful." There 
was hardly a question in La Petite's voice as she 
asked, "You know him?" 

"Perhaps, yes ; yes, it is surely Raymond's face, 
but he is sadder, and — and handsomer — but perhaps 
you flatter him, does he really look like this?" 

"Sometimes," La Petite did not look up as she 
added, "He looked just so the other day when he 
was describing his ideal Madonna, — but she is in 
America." There was a long pause, and then the 
American moved softly away. 

But it was far from being her only visit. Indeed, 
it was not many days before a new friendship was 
growing quietly up about La Petite's life, and her 
sketch was completed. Then came a day when the 
doctor found a familiar face under the Dagnan cape, 
and an old friend amid the treasures of the Louvre. 
After this there were happy days when the short 
winter hours, so grey and cheerless without, seemed 
sunny enough in the great halls. Happy days 
when three friends were together, — but alwavs in 
La Petite's world, her Louvre world of dreams and 
pictures. 

Still the pictures did not quite retain their old 
place in La Petite's life.The combative temperament 
of the world seemed to assert itself even in those 
quiet galleries, and one day she had said, with a 
mixture of wistfulncss and fun, "I used to think the 
Madonnas could teach me everything, and that 
every one coming upon them must feel about them 
just as I did. I loved them in succession, and why 
could not others? The Raphael, Luini, Mainardi, 
and Botticelli ; Life, Hope, Love and Faith. But 
people will persist in going backward and getting 
ahead just the same. The priest I have told you 
about, comes and never stops before the Luini,

Jacques used to like the Mainardi. but now it's 
the Raphael, and even you, Monsieur," she said 
reproachfully to Raymond, "cannot see that Botti- 
celli's Alary has a shadow of sorrow in her face." 

Sometimes while they talked, Raymond would hint 
of a time when La Petite must leave her Madonnas 
and go with them, but it seemed to her .so far off and 
unreal, as did everything else outside those long 
rooms ; even Raymond and Mary, were they not 
framed for her in the walls of the old palace? A 
new life outside the Louvre would seem neither real 
nor possible, even when the dread alternation of 
long, lonely days without the comradeship loomed 
near in the mist of the future. Raymond and 
Mary were preparing for a two months' visit in 
Southern France, and the sorrowful partings came 
at last when La Petite had to be left in the friendly 
care of Monsieur Jacques. 

Then it was that the real coldness of the great 
Louvre, and the failing inspiration of the faithless 
pictures cut to her heart, for the old walls would 
yield no bit of fuel to her fancy. The only congenial 
task she found was in two tiny miniatures of hei 
friends. But even these she did within the Louvre 
for although it had ceased to be a place of inspira- 
tion the walls still held her with a relentless bone' 
of association ; the cold brutality of their strengtl 
appearing all the more cruel, since they had once 
been walls of refuge, shutting out the past and hold 
ing safe her world of fancies. 

Poor Jacques watched in moody silence as th( 
faint glow faded more and more from La Petite'; 
cheeks, in spite of his helpless efforts at cheer and 
comfort. But the deep-hearted fellow was not tc 
blame. It would have taken more than the wisdom 
of all Paris to feed that delicate spirit, which flick 
ered up again and again behind the translucent 
cheeks, as if it had been a faithful lamp otTering the 
very last of its incense of life to the unfeeling walls 
of the Louvre. 

When the breath of spring was once more in the 
world, there came a morning when no little copyist 
was at her place in the Louvre, and a tearful con- 
cierge, with pitiful repetition, assured Monsieur 
Jacques that Mademoiselle was "si malade." 
Jacques had an incapacity for emergencies, yet the 
depth of his concern and an instinctive understand- 
ing of Raymond, led him to a slow conviction that 
only the best in Paris would satisfy Monsieur le 
Doctenr. So no care was wanting- in the little white 
room where La Petite lay, all unconscious that the 
restraining Louvre was no longer around her. 

It was Marie who watched at the bedside when 
Raymond and Mary first found their way to the 
little room. She leant ap-ainst a ch?ir with fixed, 
unseeing eyes, dumbly oblivious of fatigue. Only 
when she felt Mary's arm around her, did she come 
back to the realitv of the place and her sorrow, and 
gasp her childish story, interrupted by broken 
sobs. And when there was no more to tell, she 



crouched in a miserable little heap, her great, 
swollen eyes fixed on La Petite. Nor could they 
move her until Mary's tact sent her away, not to 
rest, but out through the sunshine to the market, to 
find a flower for La Petite. 

When Raymond and Mary were alone, it was 
wonderful how peaceful tne room seemed, envel- 
oped as with a sacredness all its own. Not an 
ornament was in that room save the exquisite work 
of its little owner. Soft-eyed Madonnas looked 
down from all sides, and just over the bed were the 
two heads, Raymond and Mary, — the only human 
association, the only bond of human love. La 
Petite herself, more delicate and beautiful than 
ever amid the whiteness of the pillows, seemed 
nearer akin to the Madonnas than to real life, 

Raymond took a little cedar box, which Marie 
entrusted to his charge, and opened it reverently. 
There were letters from himself and Mary, but no 
others ; a few little treasures and some loose papers 
in the bottom. The latter he opened one by one, 
mostly bits of verse, with here and there a finished 
poem, but no English address, and no memento 
which might be a clew to La Petite's past. He 
sighed, her secret endured, and if there were anxious 
or repentant hearts in England, they were beyond 
his healer's art. He turned to the poems ; they were 
delicate, sad rhymings, neither passionate nor 
powerful, only the chirpings of an English ground- 
bird. Some were dated, and he fitted them into her 
life in the Louvre as she had told it to him. The 
sadness of the shy, lonely life was clearer read in 
the poems than in the pictures, for there she had 
but reiterated the message of the Masters. 

Mary was beside him, and he read in a hushed 
voice a little song, written the first spring La Petite 
was in France. 

Little bird, little bird on tbe window sill, 
Piping, piping thy tremulous trill, 
Little bird, little bird, whfit would'st thou say, 
With thy timely notes of lu.xuriant lay? 

Little bird, little bird, of love is thy song, 
Since spring is kissing the meadows long? 
Little bird, little bird, what would'st thou say, 
That the spring of my life is slipping away? 

Little bird, little bird, go fly away, 
I know by heart thy wonderful lay. 
Little bird, little bird, thy love waits thee. 
But thou sing'st of what is dead to me. 

The spring sunshine lay in warm streaks on the 
floor, and, reflected by the white walls, glorified the 
whole room, the Madonnas, the portraits, and the 
unconscious painter. While the room was so quiet 
and peaceful, La Petite opened her eyes. Right 
before her in the flood of sunshine were Mary and 
Raymond, and a quiet peace came into her ^mile 
as if at last she had a substance to replace the faith- 
less phantoms of the Louvre. A^ary's eves were 
looking straight away through the encircling walls

with the still gaze of one whose thoughts are in the 
past and future at once, and close beside her, sternly 
tense and sorrow-stricken, sat Raymond. The 
same sunlight that lay so softly about Mary's calm 
repose quivered in the tears on his lashes. 

In a moment he felt La Petite's gaze and by a 
quick, quiet movement, which did not disturb her, he 
was at her side. Standing by the bed he, too, could 
see how beautiful and strong and calm Mary looked, 
— his Madonna crowned with the glory of the sun- 
shine, and yet, — he bowed his head and the tears 
fell on the little white hand of La Petite.

AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY PRESBYTER. 



About the year 1730 the Rev. Joseph Torrey ar- 
rived in the Pettaqaumscut Purchase from Boston 
He was presumably a young man, as his pastorate 
lasted some sixty years. The church which he came 
to had been founded as early as 1702, when Samuel 
Sewall and Hannah his wife gave an acre of ground 
"for divers considerations them thereto moving, 
more especially for the earnest desire they have that 
all such religious worship and ordinances as God 
hath appointed in his word may be received, offered, 
and kept pure and entire in Kings Town in the 
Narragansett Country in New England, that the 
first day of the week may be duly observed as the 
Lord's Day and Christian Sabbath, that the canoni- 
cal Scriptures may be read and expounded, that 
the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper 
may be administered without the pollution and dis- 
grace of men's devices and that Christ's discipline 
in his church may be practiced." For these rea- 
sons they gave the land "to build a public meeting- 
house on for the more convenient assembling of 
themselves together for the solemn worship of God 
as above mentioned." 

These were firm foundations for a church to be 
builded upon, — foundations which are eternal and 
which last through all ages. There had been min- 
isters before; the Rev. Mr. \\'oodward, who came 
as early as 1695, Mr. Danforth and Mr. Flvnt. 
But in 1732 Joseph Torrey was ordained the min- 
ister to this church, and was called the first minister 
of ordination, which may possibly mean what we 
should call the first minister of installation, as these 
other gentlemen seem to have had charge in a very 
temporary manner. Mr. Torrey at once found his 
hands full of business. A good seventy years be- 
fore the Pettaquamscut Purchasers had set apart 
three hundred acres of land for the support -^f the 



ministry. It was debated at that time as to whether 
it was not wise to make it more precise, but the 
proprietors were almost all Presbyterians, and it 
was argued that if they set it down to the Presby- 
terians it would not be received well at home; 
whereas they were absolutely unwilling to put it 
down for the support of the church. Worldly pru- 
dence was not entirely unknown, even two hundred 
years ago, the time that we sometimes hear extolled 
as an age of innocence, and Jahleel Brenton calmly 
announced in open meeting, "Gentlemen, to give 
such a farm to the Presbyterians, and nothing to 
the church, will soon be noised at home, and may be 
a damage to us. And therefore, if you will be ruled 
bv me, we will not express it to the Presbyterians, 
but will set it down to the Ministry, and let them 
dispute who has the best title to it !" 

So these excellent men calmly sowed the wind, 
and Dr. Joseph Torrey reaped the whirlwind ; for 
before he had come. Dr. McSparran had arrived, 
fresh from Dublin University, in the zeal of his 
office for propagating the gospel in foreign parts. 
Finding his three hundred acres of land put down 
in this way, he naturally asserted his right to it, and 
was receiving the rents of a portion of it as a part 
of his emolument. Our young Boston divine im- 
mediately laid claim to these lands, and after a long 
and tedious lawsuit, in which he was twice defeated, 
pressed the matter so far that it was referred to the 
King, and after the delay necessary to such a pro- 
cedm-e, at the expiration of thirty years, he won his 
cause, and the income from the land still is part of 
the revenue of the church to which he ministered. 
Thus early did he have to prove his knowledge of 
the world, his practical wisdom in dealing with men, 
his persistence, and his unbounded confidence in the 
justice of his cause. But not content with dabbling 
in the law, he apparently was a physician of the body 
as well as of the soul. An old account book which 
I have studied, gives an account with him in which 
he is credited with hay which came from his marsh 
on Spectacle Island, and also with physic, the contra 
credit being in calf skins and sole leather. The only 
signature with which I am acquainted is his name 
signed as a witness to a will which was probated 
only about a week after the signing. It is a touch- 
ing document, — the great folio sheet, written in the 
clerkly hand of the period, and signed with a trem- 
ulous line which indicates that the pen could hardly 
be grasped by the feeble fingers which held it, and 
at the left-hand side, firm and even, the name Jo- 
seph Torrey as witness. The signer of this will was 
a Friend, one of the Narragansett Quakers who did 
so much to make his little corner of the world a fair 
place to dwell in ; so that it is not likely it was for 
spiritual advice that Dr. Torrey was called to this 
man's bedside. Here he came as the physician of the 
body to ease the dying man's last moments. 

His spiritual kingdom was also one of constant 
warfare. New lights, who, in the Quaker phrase.

"presumed to justify themselves by outward dipping 
in water," were extremely troublesome to all the 
ordered conventions of service. Ranters abounded ; 
there were Deists, and, as Dr. McSparran says, 
"heretiques" of all kinds. This little portion of 
Rhode Island where he was set on a hill as a light 
that could not be hid, commands the attention of the 
modern historian from the fact that it was so ex- 
tremely individual. For many years it was under 
the King's own government, and was called "The 
King's Province in the Narragansett Country." 
Here came all those who were discontented, all who 
had a grievance, all who had a new theory to try to 
put in practice ; and Dr. Torrey no doubt had his 
fair share of spiritual conflict with the powers of 
darkness. Here he lived and worked for well-nigh 
sixty years in his own house near the meeting- 
house, which he loved, his children growing up 
around him. One son became an e.xpert weaver, 
and made the calamanco used for gentlemen's 
dressing-gowns in that day. There was no school 
of any special note that one hears of in his time, 
but a man who had his degree from Harvard, as 
I believe he did, could not fail to exercise an uplift- 
ing influence upon his neighbors. 

And why should we dwell upon the life and ser- 
vices of this man now gone to his rest, so far 
removed from our own day, and so far from the 
spirit of our time? Because, it seems to me, there 
are several important lessons which we can draw 
from a life such as his. Our day is one of great 
specialization. We have to learn to choose. Each 
one pursues his own line of choice, often with such 
ardor as to exclude any wide horizon. It is true 
that we must learn in detail. There must be people 
who can go to the foundations of things and be emi- 
nent for some one thing ; but for the ordinary mass 
of mankind, the rounded character is certainly the 
character of more influence. In looking for a leader 
of any great enterprise, it is not the specialist or 
expert to whom we turn ; it is the man who can use 
the expert testimony, and avail himself of the 
results of the specialist's work ; who can coordinate 
all the researches in the fields of science and of 
nature ; the man whose commanding personality 
becomes the solvent for many divergent things ; that 
is the man who is sought for, who is looked up to, 
the man who is wanted, and who fills the largest 
sphere of activity. Certainly, in those old days of 
greater quiet and restfulness, when every man had 
to do for himself so many things that are now done 
for liim, we had evidences of a rounded and com- 
pleted character which are sometimes lacking in 
this more hurried time. And so Dr. Torrey, 
whether he handled his haying rake or his lancet ; 
whether he ministered to his people at their bed- 
sides or in his pulpit ; whether he studied his law 
books or his Bible, — stands for us as a rounded 
character, a man of influence in his community, a 
man who in large measure fulfilled the condition 



which the church in Narragansett imposed upon its 
preacher, when they wrote to Sewall to send them 
a minister who was "eminent, and endued with a 
spirit of moderation and qualification to preach 
God's word."

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY TEACHER. 



A startling pace has been set the twentieth cen- 
tury in all industrial, commercial, economic and 
professional tracks. Every year sees some time- 
honored record broken. From the dawn of creation 
to the year 1800 there were fifteen inventions or 
discoveries each of transcendant importance to all 
future generations. Among these are the mariner's 
compass, applications of steam, the telescope, 
barometer and thermometer, printing, Arabic num- 
erals, alphabet writing, gravitation, and differential 
calculus. In the nineteentth century there were 
twenty-four equally significant inventions and dis- 
coveries. In one century the world made fifty per 
cent greater strides than in the untold centuries 
preceding. In 1855 the total wealth of the United 
States w^as $13,000,000,000, and to-day it is far 
more than $90,000,000,000. In the past five years it 
has increased much more than the total wealth two 
hundred and twenty-five years after the coming of 
the Pilgrims. 

In the professions the strides have been as great 
as in material affairs. The lawyer who solves 
problems for vast business concerns receives fees by 
the hundred thousand dollars, and the physician 
who tnasters the problems of surgery or of medicine 
can charge marvelous prices. The question for the 
teachers to consider is whether or not they will solve 
problems that are worth while. There is no tempt- 
ing future for teachers, if the ideal is to be ways and 
means of conducting a recitation, or methods and 
devices in spelling and arithmetic. Either the twen- 
tieth century teacher is to take a vigorous interest 
in some great problems or he is to be an underling. 
Talent will not seek any calling or profession that 
attempts to do twentieth century work with nine- 
teenth century equipment. 

The teachers should lead in the solution of all 
problems more or less closely related to the schools. 
There are innumerable problems awaiting solution. 
Shall they be solved through business houses? 
Shall it be a question of capital? Or can we find 
the solution through professional zeal and peda- 
gogical power? I am not a critic of those enter-

prises that are to-day so supreme in educational 
progress. Until professional spirit and intensity 
can face the problems of books, heat, ventilation, 
seating, and architecture, we shall all rejoice that 
commercial enterprise will lead us heroically. 

Schools can be well taught in a mechanical way by 
very ordinary women, who go about their work as 
the typewriter sits at her machine and develops 
greater speed week by week, and this is what teach- 
ing will mean unless teachers solve educational 
problems instead of performing school room ex- 
amples.

'LEST WE FORGET." 



THE OLD SCHOOL-HOUSE. 



I dream that once more I take my way, 

A bare-foot boy, lo tbe country school ; 
The trees cast shadows across my path. 

And my cheek is fanned by the breezes cool. 
Down to the curve of the old stone wall. 

Where a clump of sumacs flame and shine ; 
Past the broken bars where red and gold 

Blend fair in the tangled blackberry vine. 

On to the brook I lingering wade. 

Crossing the slippery stones below, 
Then up to the hill where chestnut burrs 

Green in their prickly armor show ; 
Resting awhile on the old flat rock 

For a taste from the well-filled dinner pail; 
Mocking with boyish skill and pride ; 

The clear-toned notes of the whistling quail. 

Watching the squirrel's nimble run 

On the top-most rail of the pasture fence; 

Hearing the droning honey-bee 
As he gathers the pollen his heart contents; 

Through the narrow palh where the goldenrod 
Nods and sways to the aster blue, 

Then over the wall to the dusty road 
Where the old gray school-house comes to view. 

Warped and twisted its windows and doors; 

Battered and cut each desk and seat; 
Dingy and gray its sagging floors 

Worn for years by the passing feet. 
Yet to many hearts is its memory dear. 

The old walls bathed in the sunset's glow, 
When our hearts were young and we drank life's wine 

In the dear dead days of the long ago. 



Instittition life of any sort is beset by dangers of 
its own. The institution in the beginning is actu- 
ated by a wholly beneficent purpose. The hospital, 
for example, was created purely to serve the sick 
and the miserable, to comfort and to heal. The 
patient was the prime consideration ; yet as the 
institution grows and the problems of organization 
increase, it often happens that the machinery of the 
institiUion overshadows the cotiifort and well-being 
of the individual patient. The beds must be made 
with square corners and smooth coverlids, and the 
ward must be put in complete order before the ar- 
rival of the visiting stafif. Thus zeal for the appear- 
ance of order sometimes outweighs concern for the 
comfort of the individual. Woe to the patient whose 
individuality is completely swallowed up in the 
"case." This illustration simply indicates the un- 
conscious trend of the institution. The evil comes 
about so gradually and unconsciously that its exist- 
ence is often unrecognized by those within the walls 
of the hospital or of the school. Looking earnestly 
toward certain ends, which in the institution life are 
very important, one easily comes to see things out 
of their normal proportions, to magnify the little, 
and to underestimate the great. 

The public school is not without its dangers in 
this regard. The public has, by tacit consent, left 
the management of the schools to the few people 
who are particularly concerned in education. The 
town elects the school committee, the committee 
selects the teachers and then the school runs itself. 
After a certaiti number of years of regular attend- 
ance upon the school sessions, the child comes back 
home with his diploma, certifying that he is "edu- 
cated," in the popular sense. The mother dismisses 
the child, sending him to school, as if her concern 
ended with his departure. He goes into school for 
the si.x hours of the school session and comes back 
into the actual world, as from another climate, at 
night. 

It sometimes happens, too, that the teacher, 
sheltered within the four walls of the school-room, 
and inheriting the mantle of school tradition, fails 
to keep in touch with the world outside. In her 
keen desire to enable her pupils to pass the required 
examinations and to win promotions from grade 
to grade, she loses sight of other results far more 
important, and afifecting the whole life of the child. 
This difficulty arises from insulation and from lack 
of perspective. If the teacher could see the whole 
life of the child, at school, at home, in church, in 
the neighborhood and community, school affairs 
would assume their right proportions and school 
requirements would become less artificial and 
abnormal. 

A superintendent in a Alassachusetts town re- 
cently visited one of his schools, in which he found 



20 



Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. 



a young normal graduate teaching fifty little 
children of first grade. They had just come from 
home. Some of them had been taught a few months 
in the kindergarten. All of the chldren, except a 
group reciting to the teacher, were sitting with 
folded hands, in erect position, in the middle of 
their chairs, their feet upon the floor. 

"Why do you require the children to fold their 
hands?" asked the superintendent. 

"So that the school will look well if any one comes 
in," was the naive reply. 

It was a most natural one. The young girl 
doubtless remembered "taking position" as one of 
the school virtues of her childhood. She was des- 
perately an.Kious to succeed in teaching and to 
maintain her position as a teacher. If her school 
should be in order when visited by the committee or 
superintendent, all would be well. 

Broader vision and greater experience would lead 
her to consider the active life of the children. The 
five-year-old at home, or out of doors, skips from 
one object to another, moves constantly in his play, 
is ever active, ever inquisitive, is always learning 
something, always expressing something. If we 
compare the periods of natural silence with those 
required by the school, the hours of absolute quiet 
in the school-room with the complete freedom of 
the playground, \\& shall be able to realize the ten- 
sion and strain which must result from the enforced 
quiet of the primary school, and the long periods of 
attention to drill without variety or change. Think 
even what it would mean to grown up people to 
comply absolutely with the rules of the primary 
school-room, and then consider how much we are 
really exacting from the little ones, when we make 
a requirement like that which has just been de- 
scribed. 

The truly wise and well-trained teacher looks at 
her school from two points of view. She sees the 
institution side and the child's side. Many things 
are not permitted in school simply because many 
children are working together, and the freedom 
which might be allowed readily to one cannot be 
admitted for the many. There must be orderly 
action and such self-control and restraint as will 
admit of class exercises and other orderly move- 
ments. On the other hand, the school ceases to 
fulfill its function when the good of the individual 
is entirely yielded to the success of the institution. 
School order which is secured at the cost of tension 
and strain, of fear, or even dullness and indiiifer- 
ence, costs too much. Rules are made for the good 
of the school and the individual, as well. They must 
be tested by their effect upon the individual, and 
susnended when they thwart this development. 

The young teacher, straining every nerve to fix 
the multiplication table in the minds of her heed- 
less eis^ht-year-olds, affixes a penalty to every fail- 
ure. Every child who "misses" must stay after 
school at noon and "make up" the lesson. The di- 



rection is conscientious and well meaning; the 
teacher has her eye upon the school attainment ; 
but she does not realize that the power to master 
the multiplication table depends upon the health 
and buoyancy and vigor of the child's mind. The 
eight-year-old brain, having had three hours in 
school, sitting quietly at the desk, without particu- 
lar interest in the subject of instruction, it not stim- 
ulated to vigorous action by further detention at 
noon. The tardy little feet, let loose at half past 
twelve instead of twelve, rush home to the belated 
dinner and the impatient reprimand, and hurry 
back to avoid the doom of tardiness. Useless for 
us to pray that "Good digestion wait on appetite, 
and health on both," under such circumstances. 
The adult, bolting his dinner under such condi- 
tions, is warned by his physician of the inevitable 
results of indigestion and melancholy. Not even 
the school side of things is well guarded, under such 
administration. How indispensable that the teacher 
should have a broad vision and see the child side 

and the home side, as well as the school side of life. 

These illustrations might readily be turned about 
to show the virtue of the wider vision. 

"Good morning, Jane," says Miss Smith, with a 
smile, as the anxious face of ten-year-old Jane ap- 
pears at the school door at half past nine in the 
morning. "I wonder what happened to make you 
so late." 

Jane, comforted and emboldened by the teacher's 
tone, confides that the mother was sick and she had 
to get the breakfast, make the other children ready 
for school, and then do the dishes, before she could 
come to school. Miss Smith replies, "How glad I 
am that you can help your mother. She must be 
proud. I am glad you could come to school even for 
part of the morning. Children, Jane had to be late 
because her mother was sick and needed her. 
Aren't we glad that she came?" 

Helping mothers is always and forever a virtue, 
to be cultivated in school and out. Heaven sends 
us many a blessing in this earth life of ours, but only 
one mother, and if we have to choose between 
sacrificing the multiplication table or the loving kind- 
ness and tender service of the home, let us dismiss 
the multiplication table. 

It was well for Jane that she was not a member 
of Miss Brown's class, across the hall ; for Miss 
Brown, in her stern and steadfast pursuit of the 
school virtues and her earnest desire to secure an 
immaculate school register, would have repri- 
manded the small Jane for tardiness, making her 
late advent so fearsome that absence would have 
been the happy alternative. Miss Brown is so con- 
cerned with the school side of things that she never 
sees the other side.

The moral is an obvious one. "Whatsoever thy 
hand findeth to do, do it with thy might" is a wise 
text for us all, but in school teaching it must be 
modified before it leads us to doing the "one thing," 
school teaching, to the exclusion of all other things. 
If I were to advise young teachers just entering 
upon their chosen calling, I should say to them, 
"Do not be satisfied with meagre attainment. 
Teach well, and better every day, but know that you 
are chosen to be, not a teacher of reading, or writ- 
ing, or arithmetic, or algebra, or geometry, but a 
teacher of children. To teach well you must under- 
stand child life, and your heart must be in sympathy 
with child life. You should carry vigor and buoy- 
ancy and sunshine into the school-room. Instead 
of correcting papers until midnight, marking every 
minutest error with blue pencil, that you may be 
esteemed a thorough teacher, go early to bed, stay 
much out of doors, walk in the woods, study flow- 
ers and birds and improve every opportunity of be- 
ing with the children, in their homes and at their 
play. Try to see how mothers and fathers, how 
business men and women, look upon life. Study to 
learn what life really requires of the children and 
so help your school to develop the higher virtues 
which will forever and forever be counted for good, 
whether in school or out. If you look at life from 
the side of the school alone, your work must in- 
evitably fail ; but if you judge your school out of a 
true understanding of the meaning of life, you will 
learn how to succeed."

Nothing 'is more indicative of the taste of a com- 
munity than the display in the great plate glass 
windows of the large shops. The successful mer- 
chant understands his public, and knows what sort 
of wares will please, and attract custom. His win- 
does show, not what he likes best, but what he 
thinks the people will like and buy. A walk through 
the shopping district of a city gives us a more com- 
plete description of the i'lhabitants than can be 
found in any guide book. It tells us whether their 
taste is for extraordinary bargains in gay and gaudy 
things, or whether they have reached that degree of 
culture which is better pleased with quiet simplicity ; 
whether their lives are passed in the struggle for a 
mere existence, or whether they are comfortable 
and prosperous ; or whether they are full of rest- 
lessness, and desire for display, and longing for 
excitement, or whether they care more for a simple, 
beautiful home life, with quiet leisure for mental 
refreshment and spiritual growth. 

Nothing has lately appeared in our shop windows 
which suggests more of comfort and good taste in 
the home than the new oak furniture. It is so sin- 
cere and dignified in its design. Its straight lines 
are a rest to the eye, so long wearied with the-mean- 
ingless curves and unaccountable angles of 
Iragile mahoganized and ebonized and varnished 
absurdities in furniture. Its ample pro]:)ortions are

hospitable, and give a promise of ease and comfort 
never to bo found in those spindle-legged gilded 
chairs that creak when we sit do\vn and tip over 
when we get up. 

It is not only designed well, but it is well con- 
structed, too. Its appearance of strength is 
genuine. There are no ctits across the grain of the 
wood giving corners which will split off, and the 
joints are solidly mortised together. The material 
and its finish are quite in keeping with the character 
of the design. It is good wood, carefully selected 
and respectfully treated. It is not filled with var- 
nish, nor covered with paint or gilding, nor fretted 
with rude and flimsy machine carving, nor 
abused by any of those methods commonly em- 
ployed to conceal poor wood and inferior work- 
manship in cheap furniture. It is made smooth 
enough to take nicely the oil stain which is rubbed 
into it, and which brings out the natural beauty of 
the grain of the wood, while it tones it to a har- 
monious coloring and gives it a soft lustre that is 
very different from a varnished shine. 




It is truly artistic, in that each article, whether 
chair or table, is designed to fulfill the purpose of a 
chair or a table. Fitness to purpose is the first 
requisite of artistic design, as well as of good taste 
in selection, and nothing can be good if it is 
inappropriately used. Roast beef is an excellent 
article of diet, but it would hardly be appropriate 
to serve as light refreshment at an evening party. 
So, too, this substantial, comfortable furniture 



would be out of place in company with the satin 
walls and fine lace curtains which people like to 
have in their parlors, — the show rooms, where vis- 
itors are expected to come in their best clothes and 
not stay very long. 

But think how admirably it answers the require- 
ments of a family sitting room, a living room, as 
set forth by that great reformer in household fur- 
nishing, William Morris: — "Chairs which jou can 
sit in, a couch which you can lie upon, a table which 
will stand steadily while you write or work at it, a 
bookcase well filled with books." Contrast this with 
some of the rooms you know, so crowded with to- 
pling tables and cabinets of useless bric-a-brac that 
a journey through them is attended with infinite 
danger of mishaps, and the sweepings and dustings 
must be nightmares.

ADVERTISING AUTHORS. 

Much is said of the successful author in these 
days — particularly of the successful novelist. The 
prizes of literature are plentiful and are open to all. 
Mr. Hall Caine slays his thousands and Mr. Winston 
Churchill his tens of thousands. Yet to old- 
fashioned persons the gain to public taste and cul- 
ture is not always apparent. Is the exclusive devo- 
tion to "The Eternal City" and "The Crisis" likely 
to lead to an appreciation of the best in the art of 
fiction ? Is it calculated to stimulate a love of read- 
ing for reading's sake, to turn the attention of the 
young to poetry and criticism and history, to elevate 
the mind by the contemplation of the best that has 



23

been done and said in the world ? To many excel- 
lent persons a book is a book. Just as, in Mr. Gil- 
bert's ballad, a king is a king to England, whether 
savage or civilized — 

"She does not push inquiry far 
To learn what kind of king you are," 
• — so to parents often, and perhaps to teacners some- 
times, the printed page seems to be in itself a guar 
antee of usefulness. The boys and girls may thus 
fill their minds with trash and no one need be the 
wiser. 

Nor is current criticism any real guide to modern 
literature. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that 
the worse a book is the more praise it gets. Think 
of the tons of slush ladled out and the ecstasies of 
professed judges as the process goes on! Authors 
advertise themselves as if they were new brands of 
soap. Genius springs up and flourishes everywhere. 
The old reticence is gone. An author who objects 
to taking the public into his confidence regarding the 
smallest details of his daily life is hopelessly behind 
the times. The interview is a deadly weapon. It 
can be made to serve any occasion. The assumption 
that the workings of a great mind are of surpassing 
interest may be justified — at least the appetite for 
this sort of stuff shows no signs of satiation. Never- 
theless a degree of cynical amusement may be de- 
rived from a contemplation of the tricks of the trade. 
Here is a fragment from one recent confession: "I 
first began to write," says this star in the literary 
heavens, "in my solitude in an old country house, 



when I was fourteen — exclusively metaphysics.'' 
The last touch is a crowning stroke. Most children 
of fourteen write nonsense, if they write at all. But 
genius can be content with nothing less than "meta- 
physics." It is a pity that none of these youthful 
effusions has been preserved. 

To think of Thackeray or Arnold setting down 
with such precious solemnity precocious incursions 
into the unknowable is an absolute impossibility. 
Posturing of that sort is antagonistic to that sim- 
plicity of mind which is usually characteristic of the 
highest intellects. Yet the blatant advertising 
authors of the day delude thousands into taking 
them at their own valuation. Few things can be 
more harmful to genuine taste in literature than 
acceptance by the young of the current favorites. 
There is an opportunity for those in a position of 
influence to take a stand for literary truth and 
righteousness, to teach the distinction between the 
sham and the real, to cultivate the mind in apprecia- 
tion of what is permanent and noble. Persons of 
middle age who like the Caines and Corellis are 
probably hopeless. But with the young the chance 
for improvement has not gone by. Let us hope that 
it will not be wholly neglected.

THE I!()V WHO WAS ALWAYS LATE. 



Little boys and girls, the moral to this dreadful 
tale is, never be late for school. For if you are, it 
is dollars to doughnuts that, like Tommy, of whom 
I am going to tell, you will be late for everything 
ever and ever all through your life. I remember 
Tommy — away back ever so far — more's the pity 
that it is so far — and it was seldom, very seldom, 
that he was at his desk in school before the last bell 
stopped. I remember one day he was running 
along the street, his hat in one hand and his slate 
covered with examples in the other. It was about 
two minutes before nine and the last bell was tolling, 
tolling still more slowly. Tommy knew that he 
couldn't make the school before the bell stopped, 
but he was doing his level best, and as he 
ran he pondered over what new excuse he 
would have. His mind working over the excuse 
problem, evidently interfered with the other 
function which controlled the flying feet, for poor 
Tommy suddenly tripped over a curb-stone, and 
that was the end of it. The bell stopped 
about the same time. Tommy's shin was skinned, 
likewise his nose, and from the latter member the 
bright red youthful blood began to trickle. When 
Tommy saw the blood, it was all up with him. His 



already overstrained nerves slackened up and 
Tommy sat down on the sidewalk and wept. As he 
wiped his bleeding nose on his jacket sleeve, his glance 
fell on his slate, now shattered into about si.xteen 




pieces, each piece bearing sections of the examples 
over which he had labored the night before. Did his 
tears break out in larger volume? Not Tommy's; 
his tears were for more momentous events than the 
breaking of example-covered slates. To the con- 
trary, the overflowing fountain behind his eves 



24 



Souvcni?- Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar 



dried up like magic. "Ha! ha!" he thought, "a 
good excuse!" And with great dehberation he 
gathered up the broken slate, and bloody nose 
and skinned shin forgotten, he marched confidently 
to school. "Surely," he thought, "my troubles will 
be a suiificient excuse to-day." But alas and alack, 
his evil genius still hovered over him, for as he 
opened the school-room door, the pieces of slate 
slipped to the floor with a dreadful clatter. The 
children snickered and through the din Tommy 
heard the voice of the teacher bidding him begone. 
That was a sorrowful day for Tommy. He was 
turned away without being heard. There was noth- 
ing to do but to go home, where he knew a whipping 
awaited him. 

Needless to say, Tommy got all that he expected 
at home, but sad to relate, the day's experiences did 
not effect a cure. Day after day Tommy could be 
seen running like mad across lots in a vain effort to 
crowd one minute into five, while the principal stood 
on the front steps of the school waving encourage- 
ment to the panting youngster who was earnestly 
striving to beat the bell, but whom the former knew 
he would soon have by the ear. 




I remember one day iommy nearly beat the bell. 
He got as far as the school-room door only to hear 
the call to prayer. Of course, he couldn't break in 
then and he waited patiently until the devotions were 
over, when he walked boldly in. "Late for prayers 
to-dav, Tommv," said the teacher. 




Next day Tommy's seat was again vacant. "See 
if Tommy is saying his prayers through the key- 
hole," ordered the teacher to the boy nearest the 
door. Sure enough, when the door was swung 
open, there was Tommy, hat in hand and out of 
breath, stooping over as though about to squint 
through the keyhole. 

Tommy evidently just couldn't help being late. 
He is now grown up and he is always late, just as 
he was in the days when he used to scoot across the 
fields to school. Does he ever wait quietly on the 
street comer for a car? Not Tommy. Instead he 
catches it on the fly. "Hi! Hi!" is his daily cry as 




"No'm," replied Tommy, "said them through the 
keyhole." 



he races down the street after the electric, and the 
motorman and conductor without turning their 
heads, smile as the car slows up and say, "Here 
comes Tommy — late as usual." 

Late, always late, is Tommy, such as he was in 
childhood, such is he to-day, and it is fully expected 
by his friends that he will have the same kind of a 
hustle to get inside the "Pearly Gates" that he had 
to get inside the school-yard gate in the days of his 
youth. He says himself, though, that if he has as 
good an excuse as he had on the dav he stubbed 




his toe and smashed his slate, he doesn't believe St. 
Peter will turn him down as the teacher did on that 
sorrowful day "lang syne."

LITTLE NICKY ALL-RIGHT AND HIS 
FIRST THANKSGIVING IN AMERICA. 



Of course tliis was not his real name ! 
When he landed at Castle Garden after the long 
journey from Russia he was written down in the big- 
book by the big man with the brass buttons on his 
coat "Nicholas Pevolosky, Jr." He stood there 
looking so small but so very bright and determined 
for his eight years that the big man with the brass 
buttons instinctively addressed him as the head of 
the family. There was a "Nicholas Pevolosky, Sr.," 
oh, yes ! But he had suffered so much in Russia 
because he was a Jew, and because he loved liberty, 
and he had worked so hard to get the money to 
bring his family to America, and tlie crowd and the 
noise and the seasickness on the ship and the 
strange sights of the landing-place had so confused 
him, that he stood dazed, with his heavy fur cap 
pulled down to his bushy eyebrows, and knowing 
only that he must cling fast to his blind mother and 
murmur softly to her once in a while that she need 
not fear. And there was a "Mrs. Pevolosky," oh, 
yes ! But she had the tiny baby in her arms and the 
two-year-old baby clinging to her apron at the side, 
and the lame boy of four clinging to her dress be- 
hind, and she was using one hand to keep the twin 
girls of six near her in front, and how could she do 
more than this? So Nicholas, Jr., stepped out in 
front of the group and looked up in the face of the 
big man with brass buttons and smiled his most en- 
gaging smile as much as to say, "Deal with me, sir." 
The big man looked at the tiny boy with his cour- 
ageous air and had to smile back ; but he shook his 
head at the blind grandmother and said something 
to the next officer, and then they both shook their 
heads and called for a Russian interpreter. And 
that man who spoke their own language told them 
the officers feared that some of them would become 
a public charge and that they might have to send 
the blind grandmother back. And when that was 
said the father straightened himself up and said, 
"No, no, this is a free country, — I have a little 
money, — Leon Pimenoff told me to come." And 
then the face of the interpreter brightened, and he 
stepped to the telephone and spoke with Leon 
Pimenoff, and then turned to the big man with the 
brass buttons and said, in English ; 

"It's all right ; they are expected, and will be 
cared for until they get on their feet." 

And then the officer, who had been looking at the 
anxious faces of the group, smiled and said again, 
"All right ; if you'll vouch that Pimenoff will look 
out for them they may pass." 

Now little Nicholas had watched eagerlv for the 
words "All right," for he had learned them on ship- 
board and had found that they were magic words 
opening all sorts of doors. Had not the captain 
used them when the kind, funny ladv wanted to 



draw his picture and waved her hand toward the 
upper cabin, and he had been shown its delights? 
Had not the jolly sailor with the red face said "All 
right" when he showed him the great engine, and 
the engine-man said the same when he let him 
stay so long to hear the thump, thump, and see the 
slow up and down motion of the mighty arms? 
And did not the little girl who gave him the sweet 
grapes and the red apples say "All right" when he 
tried to thank her and couldn't? And now the man 
who could talk to them in their own tongue said 
"All right," and the man with the brass buttons said, 
too, "All right," and behold they were allowed to go 
with this new friend, who knew Leon Pimenoff, 
his father's friend. Surely they were magic words, 
indeed ! 

So he practiced them over to himself as they 
wedged their way through the crowd ; and at the 
door of Castle Garden, when he reached the last 
officer, little Nicholas looked up and smiled and 
gave the salute he had seen the sailors make to the 
captain and mate on the ship, and called out very 
loud "All right." And the man smiled back and 
called to the officer behind him, "Hullo, here's a 
line chap, — he knows United States already." 

As they stepped into the open streets of the great 
city Father Pevolosky's heart gave a throb, — "Here 
we are at last, free, and in the land of promise, 
America !" But how wild and dangerous that free- 
dom seemed ! The man shrank in terror and pain, 
as rude boys, catching sight of his quaint blouse 
and cap and his unkempt beard and hair and his 
hesitating gait and stooped shoulders, called out, 
"Hey, there, old cove, when did you leave the ark?" 
He did not understand the words, but he knew the 
rough tone meant scorn and unfriendliness. He 
was a gentle scholar and knew more of books in his 
own tongue than they would ever know in any 
language, since idle boys of that sort rarelv learn 
much. But he was a broken man and sensitive to 
the knowledge that he looked unlike the men he 
met : and he answered not a word to their railing. 
Little Nicholas felt angry and his cheeks grew hot, 
but he tried to propitiate the scoffers and ran up 
quite close to them and smiled, and saluted, and said 
as loud as he could, "All right. All right." And 
then the biggest boy seemed to feel a bit ashamed 
and called out, "O, come off. Let 'em alone !" and 
led the gang down another street ; and then little 
Nicholas was certain that the magic words would 
protect them all. 

There is no time to tell how Leon Pimenoff put 
them in a tenement of one room and a closet bed- 
room and paid the rent for a month ; and how he 
took them to the wonderful school (founded by the 
noble Jew, Baron de Hirsch) where the father and 



26

little Nicholas and even the twins began at once to 
learn the language of their new country ; and how 
the neighbors, all poor but none quite so poor as 
they, helped them often to a bite and a sup to eke 
out their scanty meals ; and how the Rabbi found 
them out and made them at home. And there is 
no time to tell how as soon as little Nicholas 
learned to reckon in our money and could speak a 
few words of English, which was very soon in- 
deed, he was made a newsboy and began to bring 
home earnings. Nor can we tell how when, later, 
Father Pevolosky could reckon and talk a little in 
our way, a neighbor who was a peddler of fruit 
and vegetables and was growing prosperous, 
bought himself a new push-cart and sent Nicholas, 
Sr., out with the old rickety one and the left-over 
second-day stock to sell "at halves." There is no 
time for all this interesting story : but the Pevolos- 
kys began to get on and grew more and more 
happy that they were in America. One thing, how- 
ever, made the Father sad, although he was too 
patient to talk about it. He could play the violin 
beautifully, and it had been his greatest delight, 
but when they sold all else to bring them to Ameri- 
ca the violin went, too. And now he might never 
have another! But little Nicholas had a secret 
plan to buy a violin for his father when he grew 
rich. 

It was in June when the Pevoloskys landed at 
Castle Garden ; and in October, as a bright-faced 
young lady, with a smile as sweet as that of little 
Nicholas himself, was crossing Brooklyn Bridge 
for the first time since her return to town, she 
accidentally dropped a parcel as the car stopped in 
the middle of the bridge for the next one to get 
further ahead. And little Nicholas picked up the 
parcel, smiled at the young lady, made his salute, 
and said, Papees, Papees. All right," — and of 
course slie was much interested. He had a big bag 
of papers and seemed to be selling them ; but he 
looked so tiny beside the fat policeman, who was 
always stationed at that point, that she thought he 
must be simply holding the place for a big brother 
or friend. But as she crossed, often, back and forth 
over the bridge, she came to know him as the reg- 
ular newsboy of that particular spot. And one day 
when the car had a longer wait than usual, she 
questioned the good-natured policeman and found 
him most enthusiastic about little Nicholas. 

"Why," said he, "that boy beats 'em all ! He 
sells more papers than any boy about the bridge. 
He pretty near supports his family and goes to 
school at the Jewish place beside." And then the 
policeman told of the many children and the slow. 
old father ; and how many women and even men 
waited for their papers to give little Nicky the 
trade. 

"When he first started out," said he, "Nickv 
didn't know the ropes, you know. Miss. — how 
every boy has his place ; and he tried to push into 



another feller's stand down there in the train- 
shed while he'd gone to dinner. When that boy got 
back he made it hot for the little shaver. I was 
going to the Station, on relief, and heard the row, 
and I see the little Jew was getting knocked out 
and 1 took a hand myself. I told 'em he didn't 
know any better and Pd give him a place of his 
own. So I took him up here with me, and 1 tell 
you there ain't no feller wants to meddle W'ith him 
when Pm round. And mebbe they wouldn't want 
to if I warn't here, for he's got a mighty taking way 
with him, that little feller has, and the boys tiiem- 
selves like him now first rate. They call him 'little 
Nicky All right,' he says it so much. And that's 
what he is, Aliss, he's all right." 

After this the young lady always smiled back at 
Nicky as she passed and waited to buy her papers 
of him, and made all the numerous young men 
whom she knew do the same, and so "little 
Nicky's" business grew apace. 

Then it was coming near Thanksgiving and the 
newsboys were to have a big dinner given them 
by the Young Men's Christian Association. And 
the voung lacly's best friend was to be Master of 
Ceremonies. So she begged a ticket for little 
Nicky, pinning the badge of invitation on his 
blouse with her own hands. And then she went to 
the Pevolosky home and carried the twins tickets 
for the "King's Daughters' Mother Goose Party," 
which was to follow the Newsboys' Dinner ;" and 
so she saw the pathetic face of the father and got 
acquainted with the sunny-tempered mother and all 
the babies. 

All the while the Father was learning not to be 
so nnich afraid, and he trudged about with his 
rickety push-cart and his second-day fruit and veg- 
etables where the poorest people lived ; and had 
sometimes as much as a half-dollar of profits to di- 
\ide with the proprietor of the business when the 
night came. But one thing the peddler friend who 
gave him the job forgot to tell Father Pevolosky, 
and that was that one must keep moving with a 
push-cart and not stop still for a long time and sell 
from a cozy corner or sheltered court. There is 
a law, that the grocers who pay rent for shops are 
very anxious should be well enforced, that forbids 
such stopping. For if the men with only push- 
carts and no rent to pay were allowed to stand 
all day in good spots and sell their goods lower 
than the shopkeepers could do, it would hurt the 
shopkeepers badly. It was strange that the peddler 
friend forgot to tell Father Pevolosky about that 
law, for he was getting on so fast himself that he 
hoped soon to have a shop of his own. and then he 
would be very eager to keep the push-carts going 
all the time and would not want them to stop at all. 
However, he did forc^et. and so Father Pevolosky 
got into a terrible difficulty. He had some shrewd- 
ness when he was not too fris-htened to use it, and 
when he found a quiet court where some very 



27 



Souvenir Book — Providence Teachers' Bazaar. 



poor people lived and no shop upon it he adopted 
it for his standing place, and instead of walking so 
many weary miles as he did at first, he would go 
to that court very early in the morning and stop 
there until nearly noon and sell to the women, who 
found it quite convenient to have him so near their 
homes. He was getting on very well indeed with 
the women, for he took pains each day to see, as 
he passed, what were the prices for fruit and veg- 
etables asked by the nearest grocer, around the 
corner from the court, and he would ask a little 
less. This went on for some time and the mother 
felt proud of "her man" when larger and larger 
profits came in, and he was yet not so tired at night 
but he could take lessons in English from the twins 
who went to school all day. But meanwhile the 
man who had the shop around the corner had 
learned why his sales were lessened and who it was 
that was underselling him in the court. And he 
was very angry. He did not know that Father 
Pevolosky was disobeying the law ignorantly, and 
perhaps he would not have cared if he had known. 
The grocer was so very angry that nothing could 
stop him and he was bent on ''getting even" with 
the "Jewish push-cart trader." The grocer knew 
a sour-faced and hard-natured policeman (a man as 
different as could be from the policeman of Brook- 
lyn Bridge), and to him he confided his scheme. 
They would lay in wait for the push-cart man, they 
would trade with him so as to get proof of his vio- 
lation of law, they would not let any one warn him 
of his danger, but they would pounce upon him 
when he was most unsuspecting with a warrant of 
arrest and take him off to the Police Court. Of 
course he could not get bail, an old grizzle-beard 
like him, and he couldn't pay the big fine, and so 
he would find himself in jail. And good enough 
for him, the thieving Jew, coming to take the trade 
of honest folks that paid good rent-monev ! This 
was the wav thev talked among themselves. And 
now came Thankssiiving morning! Mother Pevo- 
losky had hardly been in bed all night for she had 
little Nickv's trousers to mend and his blouse to 
wash and iron for the great dinner, and she had 
snent manv moments admiring- the bright red neck- 
tie which the father had purchased for the boy. It 
was a ereat extravagance, but who could help it 
when he was to be the sruest of the prettv lady who 
liad brought the tickets? And the twins had new 
dresses made from the cast-ofT eowns of two neigh- 
bors ; youne women who tcnrled in a lovelv shop 
and had many fine clothes. The father was up un- 
commonly early, even for him. for mif^ht not the 
women of the court where he had established his 
cart want somethine for the Thankseiving feast 
of which he had heafd? And little Nicholas, he was 
up earlv always and ofif for his papers and must do 
all he could for the first edition this morning when 
lie was to have such a grand time later. And of 
course the twins could not sleep late when they 



were to go to a "King's Daughters' Mother Goose 
Party," — whatever delightful mystery that might 
mean ! 

The good mother smiled to herself as she worked, 
thinking what a fine time her children were to have. 

The dinner was to be at eleven o'clock. You 
may think that early for a Thanksgiving feast. But 
there was a treat to come after, — nothing less than 
free entertainment at Keith's, and "in the body of 
the house", — not the upper gallery, — so the printed 
program said. And the dinner must be over for 
that, and that in turn for the late sale of papers. 

By ten o'clock a surging crovi'd of boys stood in 
front of the Young Men's Christian Association 
Building waiting for the doors to open, and snififing 
the tantalizing odors that came from the kitchen. 
Little Nicholas was almost the last of the .group, 
for larger boys were pushing to the front to get the 
first seats ; and he stood where he could look down 
the street and to the very cross alley that led to the 
court where he knew his father was standing with 
his push-cart. Suddenly his heart stood still with 
terror! He saw a crowd of angr}' people, and yes, 
it was his father in the midst. And, look, there 
was the cross policeman, that even the biggest 
newsboys feared, holding his father roughly by the 
arm. Little Nicky darted down the street and in 
a minute was at his father's side. The poor man 
looked at his boy as to his savior, and poured out 
a flood of words that only he could understand 
about the push-cart, and the grocer, and that he 
was accused of breaking a law, and was to be car- 
ried to prison! 

Ah, now, thought little Nicky, is the time for the 
magic words to rescue and help if ever. Somehow 
the smile didn't come as well as usual, but the little 
fellow stepped up to the cross policeman, saluted 
in his best style and cried out very loud, "Please, 
Mr. Cop, — mine father, — all right, all right." 

Alas ! the spell did not work. For the first time 
in his experience the words failed and the police- 
man answered savagely, "Shut up there, you little 
rat, or Pll pull you in too." 

Little Nicky then turned to the grocer. He was 
shaking his fist at Father Pevolosky and saying 
over and over again, "You want to steal my trade, 
do 3'ou. you old thief? Pll teach you." And Nicky 
could see behind him the boys of the court, who 
had no tickets to the dinner and were angry at sight 
of his badge of invitation, shoving the push-cart 
along and e.ating or destroying its contents. Oh, it 
was horrible ! His father began to look white and 
sick and Nicky feared he would drop and die. But 
all at once as they were dragged towards the Sta- 
tion Nicky thouffht of the pretty ladv and the peo- 
ple with her at the dinner and it flashed across his 
mind that she might help. Shouting to his father 
in their own tongue. "Courage, I go for friends," 
he ran back with all speed to the Young Men's 
Christian Association Building. Alas, the door 



28 



Souvenir Book — Providence Teacliers' Bazaar. 



was shut and all the boys and those who were to 
serve them had disappeared. He shouted, but no 
one heard ; and then in desperation he picked up a 
stone and beat upon the door. It opened a crack 
and a burly policeman said sternly, "None of that, 
youngster, — those that don't have tickets must 
keep outside and not make a disturbance." "But 
I have ticket,"said little Nicky, showing his badge. 
"All right," said the man and let the boy in. "It 
works here again," thought little Nicky and he 
dashed up stairs to the dining-room. His pretty 
lady was near the door, — O, good luck once more ! 
Nicky was almost breathless from his mad run and 
his terror, but he someway managed to let the lady 
know he was in trouble and wanted her to come 
with him to help his father. With a word of ex- 
cuse to the next helper the lady snatched up a cape 
and without waiting for her hat ran with the child 
she knew not whither. He pulled her impatiently 
along, his own feet hardly touching the stones, un- 
til they came to the nearest Police Court. Then 
the young lady saw that it w-as some trouble about 
the laws, and she would have done better to have 
brought help. But she marched bravely up to the 
first officer in charge and asked, "Has a Russian 
Jew been taken in here?" 

The officer looked a little surprised at seeing a 
hatless young lady, coming to such a place, but he 
answered respectfully, "Yes, Miss, a push-cart man 
that planted himself all day in one place and the 
nearest grocer had him arrested. Nothing to inter- 
est you. Miss." 

"But I am interested," she said. "It is this little 
boy's father, and he is a good man and I want to 
tell the Judge about it. Take me in to him at 
once." 

"Well, now. Miss, I wouldn't if I was you," said 
the officer, "the Judge is awful tempery and hot 
this morning. The lawyers is most afraid of him 
and they're putting ofif their cases till he's better 
natured." 

The young lady drew her head up and her blue 
eyes flashed and the butterfly bow that just 
matched her eyes stood up straight in her yellow 
iiair in the November wind, and she said, "Please 
take m.e in at once, sir, I am going to see the 
Judge, and this poor man must be let off." 

"All right. Miss, if you say so," said the officer, 
and he began to pass her on from marshal to 
marshal until the young lady and the little boy 
stood in the Court room, both making believe 
very hard that they were not frightened. Nicky 
had eyes only for his father, to whom he made 
motions that he had come with a friend. The young 
lady watched the Judge eagerly to see what man- 
ner of man he was. "Tempery and hot, I should 
think so," she thought, "and unjust and vulgar and 
everything hateful beside. What shall I do? Why 
didn't I telephone my father and let him come?" 



But it was too late now ; and when she saw a sleek 
little man move near the Judge and say something 
to the next man and point to Mr. Pevolosky she 
divined that it was the grocer's lawyer and she 
stepped forward quickly: — "Mr. Judge," she said, 
breathlessly, "Your Honor, I mean" (for she sud- 
denly remembered that she had read that was the 
way "to address the Court"), "Your Honor, I know 
about this man here, this Russian Jew and he is 
all right." Little Nicky looked anxiously to see if 
the magic words would work once more. "He is 
all right," she repeated earnestly, "but he is ig- 
norant of our laws. There are friends who will pay 
the fine and if you want money now I have some," 
and she held up her silver purse. "But you must 
please let him go now, for he has done no real 
wrong, I know, and he is a good man." 

The Judge looked up and said something im- 
patiently about too much trouble with these push- 
cart men, and the warrant was correct and the case 
must go on. "But you must not put him in jail, 
Mr. Judge, — Your Honor, I mean." she said. "My 
father is Mr. Robert Calloway and he will make this 
all right. Some one may telephone him and he 
will say so if I ask." 

"Young woman," said the Judge sternly, "this 
Court ain't in the habit of being told what it must 
do. And it don't care who your father is. If you've 
got money to bail you can take the man, but he 
must appear one week from this day." With that 
he waved her over to another officer and she did 
what she was told and emptied her purse and es- 
caped from the Court with her rescued push-cart 
man and little Nicky. 

How they rushed Mr. Pevolosky back to the 
scene of the boy's dinner! Miss Calloway, because 
she knew some one would be worried about her, 
and Nicky, because he was anxious for his dinner. 
Sure enough, the Master of Ceremonies was look- 
ing anxiously out of the door when they reached 
it and Miss Calloway had to tell all in a minute, 
where she had been, and what she had done. 

The boys had been momentarily subdued by the 
"turkey and fixin's," but the Irrepressible called 
out as they entered the room, "W'ho's that jay? 
Has he come to dinner?" The Master of Ceremo- 
nies jumped on the platform and cried, "Hush, 
boys, it's little Nicky All Right's father, — and 
he would have gone to jail for somethine he wasn't 
to blame for, only Miss Calloway and Nicky saved 
him. Don't you want him to have some dinner?" 
"You bet," shouted the bovs, "give him a full 
plate." 

Father Pevolosky couldn't eat ; he was too 
shaken. But little Nicky made good time in over- 
taking the rest of the boys, almost catching up 
when the ice-cream came on. Thev had music and 
speaking with the dessert Pnd when that palled, 
the Irrepressible shouted. "Where's little Nicky? 
Get him to talk United States." Nicky felt the

friendliness and desired to respond, and jumping 
on the high platform he pulled out of his blouse 
the tiny American flag which they had given him 
at the Baron de Hirsch school and repeated the 
'"salute" taught him there, "I pledge allegiance to 
the flag. I give my heart and my hand to my 
country, — one country, one language and one flag." 
And then, remembering what the magic words had 
wrought for him and his this day (despite the one 
mysterious failure with the cross policeman and the 
grocer) — he added solemnly, like a benediction, — 
"All right." 

"Three cheers for Little Nicky All Right," 
shouted the Irrepressible and all the boys roared 
their hurrahs. 

And then the unexpected happened ! Father Pe- 
volosky, hearing his little son so cheered, felt with- 
in him something of the old power by w^hich he 
had swayed multitudes in the past, and springing 
upon the platform as though he were young again, 
he seized ]\Iiss Calloway's violin that lay on the 
piano and drew the bow across the strings with a 
master's touch. The boys were fairly awed as he 
made the instrtiment sing and dance and weep at 
his will ; and at last he struck into a lilting march, 
full of glory and strife and the hero's power and 
victory, and as he ended with a piercing note of 
triumph the boys went fairly wild. 

At the first pause in the tumultuous clapping the 
Irrepressible called out "Wliat's the matter with old 
Nicky?" and the rest responded, "He's all right, too." 

Fortimately at that moment the bugle sounded the 



notes that told the boys that the man from Keith's 
was at hand to lead them to that promised treat. 
And the hall was cleared in a trice. 

Miss Calloway and the Master of Ceremonies 
looked at one another, and she said, "To think of 
that man pushing about a hand-cart full of stale veg- 
etables ! You must get him a place in an orches- 
tra right away." And the Master of Ceremonies 
nodded his assent. They both looked at the man, 
now shrinking back in timid fear that he had been too 
bold to take the violin ; but when little Nicky ex- 
plained that his father had none and was so glad 
to play once more, ]Miss Calloway put it back in his 
hand and said : "At Thanksgiving time, like our 
Christmas and New Years and birthdays, we give 
presents, Mr. Pevolosky, and I want you to have this 
violin for your own. And it will not be a present, 
either, for you must pay me by playing on it many 
times." 

The man, too overcome to speak, looked at Nicky 
to say for him what his heart felt and touched the 
loved instrument once more in a soft strain of grati- 
tude. 

So that was what happened to little Nicky All 
Right, and to his father, on their first Thanksgiving 
in America.

The artistic cover of this book is by Mr. Theodore 
Hanford Pond, Principal of the Department of Dec- 
orative Design, at the Rhode Island School of 
Design. 

The thanks of the Association are due to Mr. A. 
S. Heaney, Principal of the Rhode Island Commer- 
cial School, for the valuable help he gave to the 
heads of committees, by duplicating typewritten 
copies of the circulars they sent abroad. 

The editors of the Souvenir Book feel that they 
speak for the entire teaching force of Providence 
when they express their deep appreciation of the 
great kindness of those writers, who gave of their 
time and talent to make our book a success. Their 
prominence in the communities in which they are 
placed, causes them to have countless demands upon 
their time : and yet, each of them responded to the 
request for a contribution, in the same kindly spirit 



of that one who wrote that she was "glad to have the 
opportunity to 'lend a hand.' " 

The Souvenir Book Committee for itself and in 
behalf of the Retirement Fund Association desire 
to express their appreciation of the kindness of Mrs. 
Kate Douglas Wiggin Riggs in permitting the use 
of "Mistress Mary's Prayer" from her story, " Marm 
Lisa," in the form of a booklet, and to Houghton, 
Mifflin & Co., her publishers for the special ar- 
rangement with them by which the booklets were 
sold for the benefit of the association fund. 

The association would also extend its thanks to the 
FroN'idence Journal Company, The Evening Tele- 
g'am and The News for their kindly nodces and 
editorials and for their further courtesy in per- 
mitting the association the use of their colums to 
extend the interest of all matters connected with 
their bazaar.

HINDS' HEADACHE CAPSULES. 

The Best Headache Remedy. 

Those who have used them are not willing to be without a supply of them 
in their houses. It has been repeatedly called a "household necessity," 
because it has enabled many persons to carry on their household duties 
who without them could not have done so. These nervine capsules con- 
tain no opium or cathartic and are the most efficient remedy for Sick and 
Nervous Headache and Neuralgia, giving almost immediate relief.

The Best Mining Investment 

TO-DAY IS 

SULTANA 
STOCK 









-AT- 



*1.00 s^nrR. *1.00 

The properties of this company are located in Angels Camp, Calaveras County, Cali- 
fornia, 143 miles northeast of San Francisco and consist of two developed mines, the 
Bovee and the Fritz. Near these mines is the Utica nine, which yields more than a 
million dollars annually and is known to be the largest gold producer in the state. All 
these mines are on the "great mother lode of California. 

The Sultana properties have a combined length on the vein of over 1,000 feet or about 
350 feet more than the Utica as stated by a representative of the "United States Investor" 
who recently visited the camp. 

A well=known mining engineer fir. B. F. Hand, speaking of the property of the 
Sultana Hining Company says, "There is not in my knowledge another mine in California 
that has produced better results within such a small compass and at so little depth ; the 
amount of ore available with the present hoisting and pumping facilities can be safely 
figured at 50,000 tons on an average of not less than $6.00 per ton." 

The shares of the Sultana can be bought today at $1.00, now offered to investors 
for the purpose of equipping the mines and reducing many thousands of tons of ore now 
in sight. 

The low capitalization, the large developments and the advanced condition of the 
enterprise are all features of importance to investors. Do not delay. The price will 
soon advance. 

For information address, 

Sultana fining Co., 

32 Broadway, New York City.

SPECIAL NOTICE 

THE REMOVAL. OT SUPERFUUOUS HAIR. 

That supei'riuuits liair 
can be successtully and 

fiermanently removed 
roni the faces, necks 
and arms of ladies by 
the use of Electrolysis 
is now an established 
fact. 

Moles, Warts. Birth- 
marks, Port Wine 
marks, and all facial 
blemishes are also re- 
moved by the electric 
needle and without pain 
or scar. This is strictly 
a scientific operation 
and is endorsed by all 
physicians as the only 
known method by which 
the root of the hair can 
be permanently de- 
stroyed. 

Dr. Hates has per- 
formed this operation in 
hundreds of cases and 
always with such re- 
markable success that he can unhesitatingly assure a cure without 
regard to the severity of the case. In each instance every notice- 
able liair on the face will be permanently removed. 

Patients have come to Dr. Hates from all parts of New England 
and in each case perfect satisfaction has always been given. 

If patients do not desire to enter the Sanitarium for work of 
this kind they may be treated at the office or Dr. Bates will visit 
them at their homes or other places in the city. 

After reading this notice no lady has any excuse for allowing her 
face to be marred by obnoxious growths of hair or other facial 
blemishes.

ILLUSTRATIONS 

WE take great pleasure in introducing to you our processes for 
reproduction of engravings, line drawings, paintings, etchings, 
etc. which are adapted to high-class illustrations, giving their 
full value and detail. Our plattype resembling closely the platinum print 
is as durable in color. Our chemitype is a process next to our plattype 
in giving detail, clearness and softness in tone, and can be produced for 
such a nominal price in quantities that it is within the means of all lovers 
of art. We are the originators of the plattype and the chemitype and we 
make a specialty in art printing, mounting, and in novelties in various 
shapes and styles. We also print art pictures on silk and satin suitable 
for sofa cushions, tidies, and other home decorations. We carry a full 
line of calendars and large subjects for framing and wall decorations.

rOR WORK IN COLOR. 



We always keep on hand in our Boston and New York offices a large variety of pottery from 
Japan and elsewhere. Every piece has been chosen for its desirability in the school-room. The 
forms are good. The colors are good. They are very simple, small things for the younger 
children and pieces involving more difficult problems in color for older pupils. 

A Primary School Set of twelve pieces is worth, $2.00 

A Grammar School Set of six pieces is worth, 3.00 

We have also the best Water Colors and Color Crayons in the market. 

VATER COLORS.— The Prang Set No. i contains three colors only, the best, pure trans- 
parent Red, Yellow and Blue to be found for work from Nature or Decorative Designs. Their 
mi.xture will satisfactorily produce all other colors needed in public school work. Bo.xes furnished 
at option of purchaser with two quill brushes (extension handles ) or one No. 7 brush with long 
handle. Extra brushes and cakes of color supplied at any time. 

Water Color Set 1, including brushes, per dozen $3.00

Water Pans (enameled) " " 50 

COLOR CRAYONS.— The Prang Color Crayons are put up in sets of seven pure, standard 
colors, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet and Black. They are free from wa.x and pro- , 
duce admirably quick color effects wherever an opaque medium is desired. Their mixture gives 
beautiful modifications of the standard hues. Their extreme cheapness and easil\' handling puts 
them within reach of everybody. 

Color Crayons, per dozen sets, $ -75

Why Invest Money 
With The Colonial 
Copper Company? 



II 



r. BECAUSE its management is conservative and has always been energetic 
and unremitting. 

2. BECAUSE it has large holdings of rich mineral lands, nearly i.ooo acres in fee 

simple and the mineral rights of over 4,000 acres. 

3. BECAUSE its deposits of copper ore are pronounced by competent experts suf- 

ficient to furnish continuous and profitable production for genera- 
tions to come. 

4. BECAUSE the location of its properties is nearer to the great markets of the 

world by the cheapest transportations than any other copper 
properties in America.

its books, its properties and its developments are open to the inspec- 
tion of investors. 

it has a handsome cash balance, nearly i,oco.ooo shares of Treasury 
stock for sale and has no debts. 

its largest shareholders have invested their money in the purchase 
of its stock without hesitation after a careful, personal inspection of 
its properties. 

its stock can now be purchased at a price which will advance in the 
early future. 

copper is now admitted to be one of the most useful metals, the 
consumption of which, must increase for many years to come. 

the development of its mines and the completion of its reduction 
works are well advanced, thus heralding the day when the Colonial 
Copper Company will be a bullion producer and a dividend payer. 

Whoever buys these shares now, will gain 
large profits, not only by their increased 
value but also by the dividends they will 
secure

Four Important Text Books 



General History of Europe (300 A. D. to 1900). 

By OLIVER J. THATCHER, Ph.D., Associate 
Professor of History in the University of 
Chicago, and FERDINAND SCHWILL, Ph D., 
Assistant Professor of riodern History in the 
University of Chicago. With Haps, Chrono= 
logical Tables, etc., I2mo,550 pages, $1.50 net. 

RIOH SCHOOLS which are devoting more time to the MEDI/EVAL 
and MODERN PERIODS of European History than they did 
five or ten years ago, will find this a most satisfactory text. 
It was prepared with the beginner in mind, the prime object 
being to start the student on the right path of historical study. 

It was published in June, 1900, and has already been adopted in 
many of the best High Schools of the country. 



Government in State and Nation. 

By JAHES A. JAHES, Ph.D., Pro= 
fessor in History in Northwestern 
University, and ALBERT H.SAN = 
FORD, M. A., Professor of History 
in the Stevens Point (Wis) Normal 
School. 12mo. 383 pages, $1.00 
net. 

CHIS book is just off the press, and will be 
found superior in many respects to other 
text books in Civil Government. Promi= 
nence has been given to the practical pro= 
blems of National, State and City Government, 
thus bringing the pupil face to face with govern= 
ment as it really operates. It is worthy of care= 
ful comparison with the book you are now using. 



Elementary Physical Geography. 

An Outline of Physiography, by 
JACQUES W. REDWAY, F.R.G.S. 
l2mo. With Haps and Colored 
Plates. 383 pages, $1.25 net. 



CHIS is an Elementary book, designed for 
High, Normal and secondary schools. 
Thought questions, individual exercises 
and field work are abundantly provided. 
The author's familiarity both with educational 
and geographic science makes the book unusually 
strong. Its success during the first year of 
publication proves its superiority over other high 
School texts on the subject. 



American Leaders and Heroes. 

A preliminary Text-book in United States 
Historv by WILBUR H. GORDY, Principal of 
the North School, Hartford, Conn., author of 
"A History of the United States for Schools," 
and co-author of "The Pathfinder in American 
History." With many maps and illustrations. 
l2mo. 326 pages. 60 cents, net. 

^HE success of the author's Grammar School History is a suffi = 
cient recommendation of this book, for 5th and 6th grades. 
The style is simple, vivid, natural, and fascinating, and children 
will FEEL the stories it tells. 



The publishers will be pleased to 
give you further information about 
these and their other Educational 
Books. Write for catalogue.
